Description Andrew Bennett 2008-05-02 01:50:01 UTC
This patch updates devel/git from 1.5.5 to 1.5.5.1

git 1.5.5 was released April 20, 2008 at http://git.or.cz

Read the release notes here: http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/RelNotes-1.5.5.1.txt

This patch also fixes the problem where git was unable to find the man pages when using the "--help" switch.  There's an example below.

Fix: The patch changes the $(mandir) variable in the Makefile for git.

Patch attached with submission follows:
How-To-Repeat: Run the following (or any of the git commands followed by --help): 
$ git checkout --help
No manual entry for git-checkout
$ git-checkout --help
No manual entry for git-checkout
$ man git-checkout
(launches the man page as expected)

After applying the patch...

$ git checkout --help
$ git-checkout --help
$ man git-checkout
(all of these launch the man page as expected)
