build-aux/gnu-web-update-doc-update-git

[Assaf Gordon]

Hello gnulib developers,

I'm experimenting with GIT-based repositories for the web pages at 
http://www.gnu.org/software/XXX .

For details see here:
 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/savannah-hackers-public/2014-11/msg00001.html

The current gnulib script 'build-aux/gnu-web-update-doc-update' provides 
auto-update for manual pages using the current CVS repositories.

I'd like to ask for your feedback regarding the attached script, which does the 
same but pushes updates to the GIT repositories.

The repositories are already in place, and this script can be used.

Updated repositories will appear on the mock-up sever at:
    http://gnu.housegordon.org/software/<PROJECT>/manual/

You are welcomed to experiment and push changes using the script - before going to 
"production" the repositories will be reset to their current CVS state.

This is a separate script because only project wishing to switch to GIT will do 
so.
Other projects will keep using CVS.


Thanks,
 - Assaf
