Hello,

I compared the html version of git-diff found in
http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-diff.html and the
man version from
http://kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/git-manpages-1.7.3.4.tar.bz2

The man version says gitrevisions(1), which is incorrect since it is in
man7.

Because it was fixed recently, and the html documention on kernel.org
uses the "master" branch, whereas that commit did not make it into the
maintenance release 1.7.3.4. It will be fixed in the manpages for
git-1.7.4.

Sorry my bad it was fixed in 1.7.3.4.
