The latest update to git (1.5.3.1) changed how the manual pages are
displayed. Specifically references to other git manual pages are no longer
shown by name. Instead a reference number with a cross reference at the
end of the file is given. From a usability standpoint this is a real
inconvenience. I am hoping that something changed in the programs used to
generate the manual pages and a new flag/etc. is required to get the
original behavior.

Cary
