Examples in this PEP
====================
Examples of git commands in this PEP use the following approach. It is
supposed that you, the user, works with a local repository named
``python`` that has an upstream remote repo named ``origin``. Your
-local repo has two branches ``v1`` and ``v2``. Usually the currently
-checked out branch is ``v2``. That is, it's assumed you did something

+local repo has two branches ``v1`` and ``v2``. For most examples the
+currently checked out branch is ``v2``. That is, it's assumed you did
+something like that::
$ git clone -b v1 http://git.python.org/python.git
$ cd python

$ git log origin/v2..
+ $ git log origin/v1..v1
For every branch that has an upstream remote branch git maintains an
-alias @{upstream} (short version @{u})::

$ git log v1@{u}..v1
$ git branch -avv
