Html pages will be opened using the default Windows application
configured for html. This code path is taken for msysgit (mingw).
It is assumed that html pages are installed at /doc/git/html.
This needs to be ensured by the msysgit superproject to make this
patch useful. html pages should be cloned from git.git's main
repo. This is the easiest way to get up-to-date documentation,
without requiring the complete tool chain to generate them
locally.
If html pages are not yet there, you can use the following
commands to get them:
mkdir -p /doc/git/html
cd /doc/git/html/
git init
git config remote.origin.url git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git
git config remote.origin.fetch refs/heads/html:refs/remotes/origin/html
git fetch
git checkout --track -b html origin/html
and update the html documentation with
git pull

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// GIT - the stupid content tracker //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "git" can mean anything, depending on your mood. - random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant. - stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang. - "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room. - "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals. Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License. It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano. Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions. See Documentation/tutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and "man git-commandname" for documentation of each command. CVS users may also want to read Documentation/cvs-migration.txt. Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git.or.cz/ including full documentation and Git related tools. The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org. To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git and other archival sites. The messages titled "A note from the maintainer", "What's in git.git (stable)" and "What's cooking in git.git (topics)" and the discussion following them on the mailing list give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
