I was reading the 'git revert' documentation and found the following line in it, -m parent-number --mainline parent-number ... See the revert-a-faulty-merge How-To[1] for more details. It says that the 'How-To' is present in the first section of the man page. I tried to access it to get this, $ man 1 revert-a-faulty-merge How-To No manual entry for revert-a-faulty-merge in section 1 No manual entry for How-To in section 1 That made me wonder whether the 'How-To' documents were present as man pages and were installed when git is installed. In case they are, how should I be accessing them? In case they aren't doesn't the above seem misleading? -- Kaartic
