Confusion about git-mv

[alco]

Hi. In the section http://gitref.org/basic/#rm-mv you are saying that git-rm is equivalent to three commands: git rm orig mv orig new git add new

Although you emphasize it clearly that git rm removes files from disk, the above example doesn't conform to that. After executing git rm orig, the orig file will be removed from disk, so there will be nothing to apply the mv command to. This may lead to some confusion for novice git users. You should probably add --cached option, like this: git rm --cached orig mv orig new git add new

ah yes, you're right.

I'm pretty sure this was recently fixed when he pulled my commit to fix it. it appears fixed on gitref.org as well
