You have done nothing more than point me to obsolete documentation, and
bash me after following it. If the the less than five minutes of your
life that you have spent giving me short, uninformative, or outright
wrong information are "an enormous amount of time and energy", please
tell me how much you get paid an hour, so that I can pay you for those
minutes (preferably via PayPal). Please be advised, that I will ask my
bank for a chargeback should it come to this.

I assume this tool is" git". If so, it is called "git" for a reason.

I simply wanted to fix a problem I found. I don't know what tools you
are using, how they work, etc. Please don't expect me to guess. If you
want _everybody_ to get it right the first time, then have the decency
to update the fucking documentation, before insolently directing people
to it.

Now this is the first useful bit of information you have bothered giving
me this whole time.
