I just triggered a pair of workflow runs to [update the manual pages](https://github.com/dscho/git-scm.com/actions/runs/11898105983/job/33153838707) and to [update the translated manual pages](https://github.com/dscho/git-scm.com/actions/runs/11898466848), fetched the result and rendered it locally. Here are two...

A parser would at least document a lot more cohesively what is being done. As they are, I know what the regular expressions do, but only after studying them extensively,...

@jnavila I am sorry, I had not planned any involvement in this anymore, due to time constraints.

@jnavila @To1ne what's the status on this? Do we need a fix for #2002 before merging this (preemptively addressing the `` tag)?

@jnavila you probably want to rebase to `gh-pages`, force-push and then run [the `update-git-version-and-manual-pages` workflow](https://github.com/git/git-scm.com/actions/workflows/update-git-version-and-manual-pages.yml) and then [the `update-translated-manual-pages` workflow](https://github.com/git/git-scm.com/actions/workflows/update-translated-manual-pages.yml), both times forcing a full rebuild by checking that checkbox.

@jnavila FYI I canceled [the `gh-pages` run](https://github.com/git/git-scm.com/actions/runs/16073267146) (because it would not have picked up the changes from this here PR) and triggered a [new, `new_manpage_format` run](https://github.com/git/git-scm.com/actions/runs/16073318219).

Ouch.

Now the run I triggered will be in vain.
