The documentation is in AsciiDoc format: it should be written somewhere

how to write documentation for Git.

Certainly this does not deserve a *new* file to hold it.

That's the first one I look for.

There were no indication about how to write documentation
in SubmittingPatches.

Later, I've found the only useful piece of advice regarding the documentation
in howto/new-command.txt:

"
What every extension command needs
----------------------------------

You must have a man page, written in asciidoc (this is what Git help
followed by your subcommand name will display).  Be aware that there is
a local asciidoc configuration and macros which you should use.  It's
often helpful to start by cloning an existing page and replacing the
text content.
"

And I was grep'ing for ascii[ _-]doc throughout the sources !

Isn't this inferrable from the top-level INSTALL already?

In short: No.

You want me to look in the INSTALL file to search for the syntax
to write documentation ?

For someone who don't follow Git development, it's really not the file you're looking for.

Regards.
