Hi,
atm, the git release tarballs don't contain man pages. They can be
generated from the asciidoc source files, which makes the build depend
on python and asciidoc.
That's *very* inconvenient; would it be possible to include the man
pages in the release tarball?
Or maybe offer them in a separate tarball?
Thanks,
Tilman

Hi Tilman,
Actually Junio has 'html' and 'man' branches in his git.git repository
so you just have to use git tar-tree on them.
I do this for the Gentoo packages, you can grab a tarball from any of
our mirrors, the files are called git-{html,man}-VERSION.tar.bz2
