Sorry, I missed this due to an overlong line in the message.

I am not interested in doing anything more than absolute minimum in
the history that records generated cruft.  We already describe the
mainline commit object names in the messages; perhaps that is
sufficient?

            Autogenerated manpages for v2.15.1-271-g1a4e4

        commit be681f4100647ab93fd19cb5066fcaa2cb79204b
        Author: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
        Date:   Mon Nov 27 12:33:30 2017 +0900

            Autogenerated manpages for v2.15.0-374-g5f995

The primary reason why I do not want to tag them is because the tree
the documentation sources were taken from is *not* the only thing
that affects these autogenerated cruft.  The AsciiDoc toolchain that
happen to be installed on the box the day I ran the documentation
tools is an obvious difference, and I do not want to make them
appear any more definitive and official.  "This is *the* manpage for
release v2.15.1" is the message I do not want to give.
