Error in strcmp(3) man page and problem cloning from git

says:

    The strcmp() function compares the two strings s1 and s2.

This is incorrect.  s1 and s2 are pointers, not strings.

Suggested wording:

    The strcmp() function compares the two strings pointed to by s1 and s2.

I presume there are other errors like this.  I can probably find the time to
track them down and submit a git patch; would that be useful?

Hmm, I just tried to clone the git repository, and it failed:

    $ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/docs/man-pages/man-pages.git
    Cloning into man-pages...
    fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
