Subject: [PATCH v2 3/3] git.txt: add list of guides
Date: Tue, 04 Aug 2020 00:20:59 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4394bb357b5e7025618665c4f7b387d4d37f3a84.1596500460.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.691.v2.git.1596500459.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

From: Philippe Blain <levraiphilippeblain@gmail.com>

Not all man5/man7 guides are mentioned in the 'git(1)' documentation,
which makes the missing ones somewhat hard to find.

Add a list of the guides to git(1) by leveraging the existing
`Documentation/cmd-list.perl` script to generate a file `cmds-guide.txt`
which gets included in git.txt.

Instead of hard-coding the list of command categories in both
`Documentation/Makefile` and `Documentation/cmd-list.perl`, make the
Makefile the authoritative source and tweak `cmd-list.perl` so that it
receives the list of command categories as argument.

Also, do not hard-code the manual section '1'. Instead, use a regex so
that the manual section is discovered from the first line of each
`git*.txt` file.

This addition was hinted at in 1b81d8cb19 (help: use command-list.txt for
the source of guides, 2018-05-20).
