Version	Location	Description	Submitted By	Date submitted	Date corrected
PDF	Page 23 2nd paragraph	The "\+" in the section on "git add" is a formatting snafu. It was originally an asciidoc + indicating a paragraph break. Please remove "\+" and insert a new paragraph there.	Richard E. Silverman	Jun 24, 2013	Jul 10, 2013
Printed	Page 73 item 3	"update the working tree index" -> "update the working tree" fixed by author, commit e3b1456f	Richard E. Silverman	Jul 26, 2013	Aug 30, 2013
Printed	Page 76 Paragraph second from last	In the paragraph: In Figure 5-2, simon has been merged into master before, but it and master have diverged since commit 2, and so simon is not now “fully merged” into master. It is fully merged into the upstream branch origin/master, however (see Figure 5-2). I suppose the last sentence should say "origin/simon" instead (as of figure 5-2). The same wording is also present in: http://chimera.labs.oreilly.com/books/1230000000561/index.html Besides from this - a really nice book! Kind regards, Magnus Note from the Author or Editor: The suggested correction is right; I’ve fixed this in commit 56c31b0f. Thanks Magnus!	Anonymous	Dec 18, 2014
