git/Documentation/git-instaweb.txt
Christian Couder cb45f83cbd Documentation: add 'git-web--browse.txt' and simplify other docs.
'git-help.txt' and 'git-instaweb.txt' contained duplicated
information about 'git-web--browse'.

This patch puts this information where it belongs.

git-instaweb(1)
===============
NAME
----
git-instaweb - Instantly browse your working repository in gitweb
SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'git-instaweb' [--local] [--httpd=<httpd>] [--port=<port>]
[--browser=<browser>]
'git-instaweb' [--start] [--stop] [--restart]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
A simple script to setup gitweb and a web server for browsing the local
repository.
OPTIONS
-------
-l|--local::
Only bind the web server to the local IP (127.0.0.1).
-d|--httpd::
The HTTP daemon command-line that will be executed.
Command-line options may be specified here, and the
configuration file will be added at the end of the command-line.
Currently lighttpd, apache2 and webrick are supported.
(Default: lighttpd)
-m|--module-path::
The module path (only needed if httpd is Apache).
(Default: /usr/lib/apache2/modules)
-p|--port::
The port number to bind the httpd to. (Default: 1234)
-b|--browser::
The web browser that should be used to view the gitweb
page. This will be passed to the 'git-web--browse' helper
script along with the URL of the gitweb instance. See
linkgit:git-web--browse[1] for more information about this. If
the script fails, the URL will be printed to stdout.
--start::
Start the httpd instance and exit. This does not generate
any of the configuration files for spawning a new instance.
--stop::
Stop the httpd instance and exit. This does not generate
any of the configuration files for spawning a new instance,
nor does it close the browser.
--restart::
Restart the httpd instance and exit. This does not generate
any of the configuration files for spawning a new instance.
CONFIGURATION
-------------
You may specify configuration in your .git/config

[instaweb]
