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 For (1), they are out of date and incomplete.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 For (2), the correct contact point is generally git@vger, and even if you wanted to cc the contact point, the out-of-date and incomplete fields mean you're likely sending to somebody useless.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-check-attr - Display gitattributes information
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
[verse]
|
|
'git check-attr' attr... [--] pathname...
|
|
'git check-attr' --stdin [-z] attr... < <list-of-paths>
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
For every pathname, this command will list if each attribute is 'unspecified',
|
|
'set', or 'unset' as a gitattribute on that pathname.
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
--stdin::
|
|
Read file names from stdin instead of from the command-line.
|
|
|
|
-z::
|
|
Only meaningful with `--stdin`; paths are separated with a
|
|
NUL character instead of a linefeed character.
|
|
|
|
\--::
|
|
Interpret all preceding arguments as attributes and all following
|
|
arguments as path names. If not supplied, only the first argument will
|
|
be treated as an attribute.
|
|
|
|
OUTPUT
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
The output is of the form:
|
|
<path> COLON SP <attribute> COLON SP <info> LF
|
|
|
|
<path> is the path of a file being queried, <attribute> is an attribute
|
|
being queried and <info> can be either:
|
|
|
|
'unspecified';; when the attribute is not defined for the path.
|
|
'unset';; when the attribute is defined as false.
|
|
'set';; when the attribute is defined as true.
|
|
<value>;; when a value has been assigned to the attribute.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
* Listing multiple attributes for a file:
|
|
