Apologies for the slightly OT post:
Does anyone here know of a document/documents that give non-programmers
tips/tricks/best practices on using git for plain text documents?
Obviously to some extent this is just "git for non-programmers" but I'm
guessing that there are other non-obvious best practices that
non-programmers could stand to learn, and that I'm hoping someone has
written up somewhere.
For example, since non-programmers tend to pass around entire word docs
instead of patches, they're likely to do all edits to a document and then
submit a single gigantic change, instead of breaking it up into small
functional changes (as is probably best practice). Compounding this (for
me) is that I've often found it difficult to figure out how to cleanly
break up patches into small bits in git. (I think there are some records of
this in gitorious :)
Thoughts? Suggestions?
Thanks ahead of time-
Luis
