[PATCH] Git release notes man page

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



A few days too late for the 1.9.0 release cycle :(

This responds to Stefan Näwe's request for a 'git help' command that would
access the release notes. ($gmane/240595 17 Jan 2014).

I've used the full name "release-notes" for the help guide rather than
Stefan's original 'git help relnotes'.

The release-notes man page lists just the notes for the current release.
The combined notes for all releases is nearing 15k lines.

The one formatting niggle is that the included text is column shifted
such that the the raw text now starts at col 12 for the man page and
reaches past col 80. Is there an attribute setting to not indent the
included block text within a man page? It looks fine in --web format.

I used the code.google link, rather than kernel.org, for the previous
release notes to match the link currently used in git(1).
