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 watch - watch for changes
+
+# SYNOPSIS
+
+git annex watch
+
+# DESCRIPTION
+
+Watches for changes to files in the current directory and its subdirectories,
+and takes care of automatically adding new files, as well as dealing with
+deleted, copied, and moved files. With this running as a daemon in the
+background, you no longer need to manually run git commands when
+manipulating your files.
+
+By default, all files in the directory will be added to the repository.
+(Including dotfiles.) To block some files from being added, use
+`.gitignore` files.
+
+By default, all files that are added are added to the annex, the same
+as when you run `git annex add`. If you configure annex.largefiles,
+files that it does not match will instead be added with `git add`.
+
+# OPTIONS
+
+* `--foreground`
+
+ Avoid forking to the background.
+
+* `--stop`
+
+ Stop a running daemon.
