656c3c583c Docs: recommend adding redo-ifchange with a lot of targets at a time.
Some people don't know to do this, and their scripts are unnecessarily slow
because of it.

a2bce72255 Simplify autodependency examples.
Turns out we don't need sed to process the output of gcc -MD.  We can just
do this:

	read DEPS <filename.deps

The 'read' command in sh actually handles backslashes correctly, so we don't
have to sed them out after all.  And then a simple ${DEPS#*:} removes the
"target:" prefix from the dependency line, and we're done!

94b34ea031 Generate redo version codes in Documentation/*.1 automatically.
We have to go through some pretty scary gyrations to extract this
information from git, but it can be done.  This works with both tarballs
generated by 'git archive', or with your local git repo.
