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 webapp - launch webapp
# SYNOPSIS
git annex webapp
# DESCRIPTION
Opens a web app, that allows easy setup of a git-annex repository,
and control of the git-annex assistant. If the assistant is not
already running, it will be started.
By default, the webapp can only be accessed from localhost, and running
it opens a browser window.
# OPTIONS
* `--listen=address`
Useful for using the webapp on a remote computer. This makes the webapp
listen on the specified address.
This disables running a local web browser, and outputs the url you
can use to open the webapp.
Set annex.listen in the git config to make the webapp always
listen on an address.
# USING HTTPS
When using the webapp on a remote computer, you'll almost certainly
want to enable HTTPS. The webapp will use HTTPS if it finds
a .git/annex/privkey.pem and .git/annex/certificate.pem. Here's
one way to generate those files, using a self-signed certificate:
openssl genrsa -out .git/annex/privkey.pem 4096
openssl req -new -x509 -key .git/annex/privkey.pem > .git/annex/certificate.pem
