Hi Alejandro,

yesterday you merged this commit (without sending it to ML):
70ac1c478 ("src.mk, All pages: Move man* to man/")


It's good to know that someone realized immediately after my patch. I wanted to know how much it would really hurt others' habits, and a discussion about it would probably have been too artificial. That's why I did it without prior discussion.

Although I agree that number of man* is quite high and single man directory
looks nicer, from practical reasons I'd prefer to revert this commit.
Because saving one extra cd is IMHO more important.

I rarely cd. I edit pages from the root of the repo with (in my example, I'll pretend to edit membarrier(2)):

(previous to subsections):
vi m[TAB]2[TAB]memb[TAB]

(after subsections were introduced, but before this change):
vi m[TAB]2/memb[TAB]

(after this patch):
vi m[TAB]m[TAB]2/memb[TAB]


I agree it's two more keystrokes, and it took me so long to decide to change it because two keystrokes all the time are not the most friendly thing in the world, but I think I could live with them.

Do you still think I should revert it?

I guess I'll receive a lot more emails like that in the following days, so I'll wait a little bit more before considering reverting it, but yeah, I may do it; I'm still unsure about what to do.

Kind regards,

Alex
