Subject: [PATCH] provide a Git user-manual man page
Date: Sat, 15 Feb 2014 13:51:38 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1392472299-3780-1-git-send-email-philipoakley@iee.org> (raw)

This is a resend of my original patch ($gman/240486), which disappeared
without comment. I've cc'd those who have touched the User-Manual in
the last year for comment on the provision of this access mechanism.

The Git User Manual is formatted as a doc book, rather than as
a man page so isn't directly accessible via the usual 'git help
<guide>' command.

This patch provides a simple man page with onward links to the true
User-Manual. 

The man page is based directly on a very cut down version of the git(1)
page.

This patch is based on 1.9.0 master.
