This setup is from commit 894cf6b9c9cd7d9e783637a1033169a546c78276 Author: Jonathan Nieder <[email protected]> Date: Wed Jan 12 21:42:46 2011 -0600 debian/rules: install /usr/share/doc/git/html -> ../git-doc symlink git documentation being installed by the git-doc package is an implementation detail that users shouldn't have to care about. After this change, all documentation can be found under /usr/share/doc/git. Arguably it would be better to install directly into /usr/share/doc/git/html, but that would have broken links (e.g. kernel-handbook links to [1]). Perhaps the package should install docs directly to /usr/share/doc/git/html and put some symlinks in /usr/share/doc/git-doc --- what do you think? Thanks, Jonathan [1] file:///usr/share/doc/git-doc/git-bisect-lk2009.html
