Hi,
while (proof-)reading the Documentation I noted down some remarks and questions:
* a lot of the manpages include something like "v0.1, June 2005" in the header; these versions tags are pretty obscure to interpret, timestamp when last edited ? version of the manpage ? version of git when the manpage was included ? maturity the author assigned to the content ? If these tags don't follow some sane schema they should be removed.
* git-applymbox: -q for interactivity seems like a strange choice, ok I knew -i for interactive and -q for quiet but -q for interactive editing is _not_ really intuitive
* the usage of git, Git and GIT isn't consistent in the documentation. I'd vote for only using git.
* git-clone says that http transport is not supported yet I used it to clone the git repo from kernel.org yesterday. Should the documentation get updated ?
* the manpage synopsises aren't consistent wrt command naming; it's "git commit" but "git-branch"; I guess all the manpages should reference their commands as "git-x" and not "git x"
Greetings,
Christian
