The point of these sections is generally to:
1. Give credit where it is due.
2. Give the reader an idea of where to ask questions or
file bug reports.
But they don't do a good job of either case. For (1), they
are out of date and incomplete. A much more accurate answer
can be gotten through shortlog or blame. For (2), the
correct contact point is generally git@vger, and even if you
wanted to cc the contact point, the out-of-date and
incomplete fields mean you're likely sending to somebody
useless.
So let's drop the fields entirely from all manpages except
git(1) itself. We already point people to the mailing list
for bug reports there, and we can update the Authors section
to give credit to the major contributors and point to
shortlog and blame for more information.
Each page has a "This is part of git" footer, so people can
follow that to the main git manpage.

NAME
|
|
----
|
|
git-mktree - Build a tree-object from ls-tree formatted text
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
'git mktree' [-z] [--missing] [--batch]
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
Reads standard input in non-recursive `ls-tree` output format, and creates
|
|
a tree object. The order of the tree entries is normalised by mktree so
|
|
pre-sorting the input is not required. The object name of the tree object
|
|
built is written to the standard output.
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
-z::
|
|
Read the NUL-terminated `ls-tree -z` output instead.
|
|
|
|
--missing::
|
|
Allow missing objects. The default behaviour (without this option)
|
|
is to verify that each tree entry's sha1 identifies an existing
|
|
object. This option has no effect on the treatment of gitlink entries
|
|
(aka "submodules") which are always allowed to be missing.
|
|
|
|
--batch::
|
|
Allow building of more than one tree object before exiting. Each
|
|
tree is separated by as single blank line. The final new-line is
|
|
optional. Note - if the '-z' option is used, lines are terminated
|
|
with NUL.
