“ I have a hard time parsing that to mean what it's supposed to mean.”

Can’t disagree. That part could certainly be written better. I’m not saying I would want to learn Git from the man pages, but they’re pretty good in general after learning it elsewhere.

They are decent for reference, and some are genuinely great (like git-everyday [1] or git rebase [2]). But just as often as they are helpful they just leave me scratching my head, either because they are too deep in git-lingo or because they forget to clarify some crucial details
