Hello, First, can we agree to keep an (at least) read-only CVS mirror for Autoconf running for, say, a couple of years? Thanks. * Bob Friesenhahn wrote on Thu, Sep 20, 2007 at 04:18:23AM CEST: > > Git seems to be quite new and still very Linux centric.

Luckily you can get preformatted manpages in a git branch and copy that manually to desired places (what an archaic way to have to install stuff! ;-) as described in git/INSTALL: | Alternatively, pre-formatted documentation are available in | "html" and "man" branches of the git repository itself. For | example, you could: | | $ mkdir manual && cd manual | $ git init | $ git fetch-pack git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git man html | | while read a b | do | echo $a >.git/$b | done | $ cp .git/refs/heads/man .git/refs/heads/master | $ git checkout | | to checkout the pre-built man pages. Also in this repository: | | $ git checkout html | | would instead give you a copy of what you see at: | | http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/ [...] Hope that helps.
