Here is a more sensible commit message, given that I already did update the notmuch-search-terms synopis commit eb1cae6a3a2eda0878357dfddba846c33c11d585 Author: David Bremner Date: Wed Dec 21 21:45:59 2011 -0400 notmuch: replace built-in help with exec of man "notmuch help" now relies on a working man installation, and a correct setting of MANPATH, for users that install in "unusual" places. This should probably noted in NEWS before shipping. There is still some small duplication of docs as the one line summaries are hard coded in the binary. This seems preferable to complicated script games, at least as long was we are using a presentation level markup like nroff. notmuch.c | 482 +++++-------------------------------------------------------- 1 files changed, 35 insertions(+), 447 deletions(-)
