I can give you some anecdata right now, that as a somewhat experienced
git user at this point, I can scarcely determine those from the real
thing.  The silly option switches I think give it a way a bit (I got
"--terrorize-subtree" which doesn't make sense, because terrorizing is
what subtrees do to *users*).  But my eyes glaze over the main text
about the same rate it does for the actual man pages.
