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..

In some cases, addurl is able to +come up with a better filename based on other information. Options can also +be used to get better filenames. + +# OPTIONS + +* `--fast` + + Avoid immediately downloading the url. + +* `--relaxed` + + Avoid storing the size of the url's content, and accept whatever + content is there at a future point. (Implies `--fast`.) + +* `--raw` + + Prevent special handling of urls by quvi, bittorrent, and other + special remotes. This will for example, make addurl + download the .torrent file and not the contents it points to. + +* `--file=name` + + Use with a filename that does not yet exist to add a new file + with the specified name and the content downloaded from the url. + + If the file already exists, addurl will record that it can be downloaded + from the specified url(s). + +* `--pathdepth=N` + + This causes a shorter filename to be used. For example, + `--pathdepth=1` will use "dir/subdir/bigfile", + while `--pathdepth=3` will use "bigfile". + + It can also be negative; `--pathdepth=-2` will use the last + two parts of the url. + +# SEE ALSO + +[[git-annex]](1) + +# AUTHOR + +Joey Hess <id@joeyh.name> + +Warning: Automatically converted into a man page by mdwn2man.
