Users are the ones who are impacted by breaking changes. Certainly much more than Git developers who are already plugged in to the development channels that discuss the trajectory of the project.

We have to that end already made the breaking changes document into a more public-facing page, namely a regular manpage. Now let’s mention on git(1) like the other user-relevant guides.

Like last time,[1] use double-spacing for sentences since that is the existing convention.
