Really? I find info a huge pain in the butt most of the time. I can't just do a simple text search for the information I want in the relevant manpage; I have to go navigating around to the appropriate subsection (and that's assuming I know where it is) and am forced to use the emacs-style pager whether I like it or not (not a big emacs fan here). It always ticks me off when I go to read the manpage for some command and it tells me to go read the info page if I want complete documentation.
I would definitely not want to move to a documentation system that prevented me from typing "man git-commit" to get a list of all the command line options for that command.
However, that said, I have no objection to an alternate view of the same information that's organized differently.
Am I alone in my dislike of info, I wonder? -Steve - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
