Are there git 'info' pages or some other form of more extensive documentation somewhere that I can look at to get more information than what the git 'man' pages have?

v/r, neal

There are info pages, but they contain the same text as the manpages. Look in git.git's Documentation/ subtree. There are a few things which don't make it to manpage format (like user-manual.txt, technical/, and howto/) but the manpages are generally the most up-to-date and complete documentation there is.

What are you looking for in particular?
