Well, we don't document it, but you can easily use it.

Go to a directory (I'd create a new one for this) and create a git
repository in it

git init

Let's say you are using ~/scuba/dives for this

Now in Subsurface, do "save as" and as filename select

~/scuba/dives[willem]

This will create the git store as a branch named "willem". You can look at
what was stored in this directory by doing

git show

You can even check it out and see the file hierachie. If you are brave,
you can even chenge the files, create your own commits and have them
reflected in Subsurface. That's how I fixed some oddities that happened in
my dives over time based on constantly using development versions.

So why would you add the 'pressure=' part. Simply keep that as is and ADD
o2pressure=145bar and you should be fine
