Yeah, that's what I said in my first post.
You said it better but I also said it. See?
I'm smart :)
But not so smart as to understand why the OP
ends up with a page for an obsolete/outdated
version of Magit, instead of the regular one?
Perhaps the OP was such a bad boy he navigated
there thru some unconventional, perhaps even
obsolete method?

Perhaps this is a case when one should have
obeyed tradition. However at this time there is
a new tradition and if people changed it it
would perhaps cause even more confusion.
Obey tradition!
