Joey Hess daec4b007a splitting up the man page
Common command man pages all split out and often expanded.

A few sections split out into their own pages.

Still need to do all the other commands..

# NAME
git-annex watch - watch for changes
# SYNOPSIS
git annex watch
# DESCRIPTION
Watches for changes to files in the current directory and its subdirectories,
and takes care of automatically adding new files, as well as dealing with
deleted, copied, and moved files. With this running as a daemon in the
background, you no longer need to manually run git commands when
manipulating your files.
By default, all files in the directory will be added to the repository.
(Including dotfiles.) To block some files from being added, use
`.gitignore` files.
By default, all files that are added are added to the annex, the same
as when you run `git annex add`. If you configure annex.largefiles,
files that it does not match will instead be added with `git add`.
# OPTIONS
* `--foreground`
Avoid forking to the background.
* `--stop`
Stop a running daemon.
