From 48bb914ed641fc0880d86b16cbb17c84769c320a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff King Date: Fri, 11 Mar 2011 00:52:08 -0500 Subject: doc: drop author/documentation sections from most pages The point of these sections is generally to: 1. Give credit where it is due. 2. Give the reader an idea of where to ask questions or file bug reports. But they don't do a good job of either case. For (1), they are out of date and incomplete. A much more accurate answer can be gotten through shortlog or blame. For (2), the correct contact point is generally git@vger, and even if you wanted to cc the contact point, the out-of-date and incomplete fields mean you're likely sending to somebody useless. So let's drop the fields entirely from all manpages except git(1) itself. We already point people to the mailing list for bug reports there, and we can update the Authors section to give credit to the major contributors and point to shortlog and blame for more information. Each page has a "This is part of git" footer, so people can follow that to the main git manpage. --- Documentation/git.txt | 14 ++++---------- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) (limited to 'Documentation/git.txt') diff --git a/Documentation/git.txt b/Documentation/git.txt index 0c32d4524..4323843fe 100644 --- a/Documentation/git.txt +++ b/Documentation/git.txt @@ -745,16 +745,10 @@ unmerged version of a file when a merge is in progress.
