Subject: help: warn if specified 'man.viewer' is unsupported, instead of erroring out
X-Git-Tag: v1.5.5-rc0~8^2~1
X-Git-Url: https://git.tokkee.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5fb0b3e007d6465af99d08121d46be82c649df5a;p=git.git

help: warn if specified 'man.viewer' is unsupported, instead of erroring out

When a document viewer that is unknown to the current version of git is
specified in the .git/config file, instead of erroring out the process
entirely, just issue a warning.  It might be that the user usually is
using a newer git that supports it (and the configuration is written for
that version) but is temporarily using an older git that does not know the
viewer.
