What's the difference? $$\nabla_\mu e_\nu=\Gamma_{\mu \nu}^\rho e_\rho~\text{ and }~\partial_\mu e_\nu=\Gamma_{\mu \nu}^\rho e_\rho~?$$
In John Dirk Walecka's book 'Introduction to General Relativity', He told us that we can use connection to describe the change of basis vectors: $$\partial_\mu e_\nu=\Gamma_{\mu \nu}^\rho e_\rho$$ Then the difference of basis vector $e_\mu$ between points $x_0$ and $x_0+\delta x^\mu$ is: $\Gamma_{\mu \nu}^\rho e_\rho \delta x^\mu$
Then conbine with the definition of metric field: $$g_{\mu \nu}=e_\mu\cdot e_\nu$$ We will get the metric compatible equation: \begin{align} \partial_\rho g_{\mu\nu}&=(\partial_\rho e_\mu)\cdot e_\nu +e_\mu\cdot (\partial_\rho e_\nu)\nonumber\\ &=\Gamma^\lambda_{\rho\mu }g_{\lambda\nu}+\Gamma^\lambda_{\rho\nu }g_{\mu\lambda} \end{align}
But in many books, we find another formula: $$\nabla_\mu e_\nu=\Gamma_{\mu \nu}^\rho e_\rho$$ Then what is the difference between the two formulas? And from this formula can we know the difference of the basis vector between $x_0$ and $x_0+\delta x^\mu$?
