Thanks for a dose of sanity. Having been here so long, I sometimes think that if something exists in git, I would already know about it. But sometimes that is not true. :) Junio, what do you think of building the git-manpages-* tarballs (and the git-manpages repo) with MAN_BASE_URL set to "http://some-official-place/"? As of now, they mention "file:///home/junio/...". We could need to have an official place, of course. I'd rather not use http://schacon.github.com/git/docs because these links will be embedded in release tarballs. Maybe it is time to make http://git-scm.com/docs happen. -Peff
