Re: [PATCHv6 0/5] Moving gitweb documentation to manpages

Jakub Narebski [off-list ref] writes:

The original patch adding manpage for /etc/gitweb.conf was sent by
Drew Northup (as can be seen from shortlog); I have added manpage for
gitweb itself, inspired by his patch.  Unfortunately Drew doesn't
currently have time to work on this patch (patch series), so that is
why it is me resending this series (yet again).

The difference with previous version

  [PATCHv5/RFC 0/6] Moving gitweb documentation to manpages
  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/183166
  http://marc.info/?l=git&m=131809875619259&w=2

is that "Documentation: Preparation for gitweb manpages" (originally a
first patch) got removed, and two main patches got improved.  Other
patches are unchanged from previous version.

I fetched it and compared with the result of applying this series; it
appears that the version fetched from there is full of random whitespace
issues, e.g. ('$' added by "cat -e")

The series seems to have been rebased on a more recent 'master' and does
not match the "since commit..." stated above (not a major offense; just
mentioning as I noticed it).

In any case, I've queued the one from the mailing list. Thanks.
