I must admit, that I don't like these extra tarballs with docs. I always expect, that the manpages are nicely installed if I type 'make install' (or at least with a install-doc target). But I need to download this extra package, and extract it to the right place, there is no Makefile whatsoever. In case of git its really annoying, because the help mechanism is relying on the manpages (i.e. git help or git --help, but you know this). Thanks Bert > > Josef 'Jeff' Sipek.
