Hi,
Please keep me in Cc: since I'm not subscribed.
'tac' by default does the same as cat, but in reverse order. I didn't know about
'tac' and it took me a while (about 5 minutes, but anyways :-P) to find it. I
think having a "see also tac" on cat's manpage could be useful and save people
some time :)
The attached patch does this. I almost copy from 543696a (doc: add a cross
reference from tac's man page to "rev") so I think it should be ok. But please
let me know.
Thanks a lot,
Rodrigo

Thank you. Pushed.
I prepended the usual "* " ChangeLog file name marker in the log message:
* man/cat.x: See also "tac"
