+NAME
+----
+git-version - Display version information about Git
+
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+'git version' [--build-options]
+
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+
+With no options given, the version of 'git' is printed
+on the standard output.
+
+If the option `--build-options` is given, information about how git was built is
+printed on the standard output in addition to the version number.
+
+Note that `git --version` is identical to `git version` because the
+former is internally converted into the latter.
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+--build-options::
+	Prints out additional information about how git was built for diagnostic
+	purposes.
