It is correct at the above link. My mailer is Outlook 2016... so... yeah.

Yes it is. It loves mangling. Nice to see it mangled it again ☹. Porting 
sendmail was on my list of things to do, but pretty far down.

I have no such capability on the system where the changes were made, nor even 
with Outlook on my own local Windows dev box. I've tried my mac and linux 
machines but can't connect up to my (bleep) mailer from those without creating 
more (bleep). It's either that or I'm too close to the holidays.

I somehow have a feeling that you are not even looking at the right
rendition.

To everybody else who did not complain that what I sent was
line-wrapped, the message should be showing like this:

https://public-inbox.org/git/xmqqtvwvy1rh@gitster.mtv.corp.google.com/

Perhaps the mail program on your receiving end is mangling what you
got from the mailing list, giving you a line-wrapped version.

It also unfortunately makes me suspect that you didn't actually have
a chance to apply the patch mechanically and make sure it works for
you due to mail mangling at your end X-<.

Yes, needed. The lines wrapped om Documentation/Makefile - each change in 
quick-install-man/html should be exactly one line:

quick-install-man: require-manrepo
-   '$(SHELL_PATH_SQ)' ./install-doc-quick.sh $(MAN_REPO)

I don't.  It's not that I can or cannot take a pull request.  I just
do not want to queue anything that is not reviwed on list.

I however could queue this (typed to mimic what I saw in your
message), but you'd need to say what you see here is OK (and
preferably, you applied this version and it tested fine); I may have
made a typo or two, and I would really prefer extra set of eyes.

Also we need your sign-off, of course.

Thanks.

I suspect that this patch is line-wrapped and unusable for the final 
application, but I think what the change wants to do makes total sense---we are 
already letting the builder specify where the other repositories for docs are, 
and it is not such a big stretch to let them also say which branch or tag they 
want their documentation from.

[Proposed] Externalize man/html ref for quick-install-man and quick-install-html

2017-12-09 Thread Randall S. Becker 
I am proposing the following trivial change to allow the external
specification of the reference used for quick-install-man. The justification
is that I cannot have my production team modifying scripts when non-master
versions of git are installed in production (that violates so many rules
that I would have trouble enumerating). This does add any requirements for
changes to the automation for building either git-manpages or  git-htmldocs.
What it does is allow the top level make to pass GIT_MAN_REF down to the
underlying shell script with a default of master if unspecific. Where I am
uncertain is what else would be required for this change (documentation,
unit tests).

I humbly submit this for consideration.
Sincerely,
Randall
