Subject: [PATCH] Makefile: Add help target
Date: Tue, 28 Sep 2010 01:13:58 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1285661638-27741-1-git-send-email-bebarino@gmail.com> (raw)
Today I forgot whether the target was quick-install-doc or
install-quick-doc and had to open the Makefile again to find out. I'd
rather not do that and just use:
$ make help
to get a quick summary of the interesting targets when my brain fails to
refresh. Add a help target, but don't add uninteresting things like
strip, install-gitweb, or targets which alias (install-man).
