Subject: man pages to subsections 1git...?
Date: Wed, 31 Dec 2008 08:12:15 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87hc4lnqxs.fsf@jidanni.org> (raw)
It seems like there are enough git man pages that they deserve their
own "honorary" subsections. Compare:
$ ls -R /usr/share/man/man?|sed ...|sort|uniq -c
19 1p
175 1posix
45 1ssl
10 1x
487 3perl
403 3pm
OK, the subsections would be 1git, 5git, and 7git.
However git-whatever is not something one can exactly can invoke from
the shell anymore, is it proper to have such a named man page?
Choices are e.g.,:
$ apropos apply
git-apply (1git) - Apply a patch on a git index file and a working tree
git apply (1git) - Apply a patch on a git index file and a working tree
apply (1git) - Apply a patch on a git index file and a working tree
Oh no, something wrong with each. You guys fight it out. I'm outta here.
