No, I don't. The part I am quoting is from Git Source Checkout module in 
the latest online manual

http://buildbot.net/buildbot/docs/latest/Git.html

as you could have read, you are quoting a different part of the manual

http://buildbot.net/buildbot/docs/latest/Source-Checkout-_0028Old_0029.html#Source-Checkout-_0028Old_0029) 
where it is correct.

By the way where did you get that link from? I can not find that on the 
website (http://buildbot.net/buildbot/docs/)

Kind regards,

Jonathan
