make sense? Or a simpler but non-streaming spelling:

  my @files = map { chomp; $_ } `git ls-files`;

I forgot to say that I wanted not to rely on "git" (i.e. OK to use
this on tarball extract).

Oh, that's a good idea.

Or just taking the list of files on the command line as your original
did, and feeding `ls-files` from the caller. That also lets you do
"link-gitlink git-foo.txt", etc.

Yes, I think that is the most sensible.

Yeah, and then the Makefile can drive it from $(MAN_TXT), etc, without
requiring git (which I think is what you were getting at, but just
spelling it out for myself and the list).
