In sections "3.3 Git Branching - Branch Management" and "5.2 Distributed Git - Contributing to a Project," on both the website and the pdf, it says to use the --set-upstream option to set upstream branches, but it is no longer supported. It should be changed to --set-upstream-to in all three places.
It can be found on
the 2nd codeblock on page 81
the first codeblock on page 82
the first paragraph of page 141.
What problem will this solve?
It updates unsupported syntax that will confuse readers unfamiliar with git.
Have you thought about other solutions?
The first 2 instances could be changed to -u, but the last is describing what -u does, so --set-upstream should still be changed to --set-upstream-to in that case
