I think it is Ok to have, and it probably is helpful to have, a document that accompanies the generic manual, "Platform supplement", to explain things like "On this platform, what is referred to as $HOME in the generic manual is implemented as %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%", to cover peculiarities of each platform. But I think it is going backwards to butcher the description in the main manual in order to make the platform supplement shorter. Even Windows is not a good enough reason to break the logical ordering of how things should be best taught to the readers of the manual, which is not specific to a platform. -- 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
