How do I "compile" that pile of .docs which they called "project documentation"?

I really do feel for people working for corporate projects: the rules are strict (and often stupid) and there are mistakes and punishment for them. You really don't want to make a merge of a branch containing commits where description is in wrong format (or wrong content, because the customer may see it, and one of the greate rules of bussiness seem to be "hide and obscure").

People prefer to avoid mistakes from happening, then having to correct them (and yes, they do and will commit without doing sanity check).

So I think Pasky has a valid point
