I've made some manpages for git-flow, what do you think? #458

So, many people have been complaining on the internet that git-flow has no command-line documentation, i.e. manpages. Yes we know that the wiki exists but that is not the workflow we expect from the programs that run on the command-line. In order to solve that problem I have made a fork and created some manpages with the information that I found on the wiki and on the internet.

Here is the link for my fork, you can test the manpages locally with:

man ./git-flow.1

So what do you guys think? Shall I continue making this feature? I need to know if this kind of contribution will be welcome because if it is not then I won't spend my time on it.

There are currently 3 manpages available, 8 manpages are necessary to cover all git-flow commands, when it is done the next step will be making the changes to the Makefile so all the maintainers will be able to create a separate package for the docs.

Another thing that I intend to do is to make it easy for everyone to translate the pages to other languages, however this is not so necessary.

I'm closing this issue because I've got no response from the authors.
