Totally agreed. Branching is good for man pages, but for articles/books it
looks strange (better to use paragraphs about different OS versions).
And what to do with man pages?
What about:
1) Create subtree exclusively for man pages (partially already
there - share/man), a-la doc/ tree (i.e. with different languages in mind).
2) Move all man pages from utilities sources to this directory and track them
here.
I think it can help to simplify tracking man pages for translation teams.
Sincerely yours, Andy.
