Comment:

 I think that the summary of the conversation on #buildbot is that we
 should supply minimal, but not trivial, manpages with the distribution.
 If you can add some comments to the relevant places in the code --
 master/buildbot/scripts/runner.py, master/docs/cmdline.texinfo, etc. --
 reminding devs to update the manpages, that would be even better.
 Honestly, the command-line interface doesn't change that frequently, so it
 shouldn't be a big deal.

 It would be great if you could set up some automated version-substitution
 for the manpage source - at present, 0.8.1 is hard-coded in there.

 You also mentioned some fixes to the --help output, which would be great
 to see, as well.

 Thanks for bringing this up!
