Hi everyone,

for reference: The new "magic command" basically calls the upstream
"make man" in the docs/ subdirectory: (see line 23)

http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/borgbackup.git/tree/debian/rules?h=debian/0.28.2-1&id=fe5c01cc1baa3f26819b392f51e1e54a122b159e#n23

There is no longer any Debian-specific hand-written manpage, so there's
no issue with it going out-of-date with upstream.  While not perfect,
that's certainly better than a hand-written manpage that gives incorrect
information every now and then.  Upstream is aware of the manpage issue,
you can read the discussion at github:

https://github.com/borgbackup/borg/issues/208

I hope that clears it up a bit.

Cheers,

- Danny
