------- Additional Comments From tuharsky@misbb.sk 2006-17-08 08:46 ------- When You compile Git from sources (as suggested in GitWine manual), You need them. See git's INSTALL for more info. Hint: cannot do "configure" without autoconf before. Next, documentation needs asciidoc. And needs more than that, so that I resigned compiling docs for git (in contradiction to manual).
Proxy system variable I consider "must have" for significant part of git users.
And Debian users need to know, that compiling from sources is not the best way for them.
Please note, that the manual is not for "everyday Git users"; they don't need it. It is for people like me, that don't know anything about Git, don't WANT to know either, and are scared enough about it. They need simple HOWTO that will lead them to regression testing successfully done. Nothing more and nothing less.
