Interesting.

I did recheck both Documentation/howto-contribute.txt and recent man
page commits before sending the patch, and, having failed to identify
clear guidance, went with the pattern that made more sense to me.

That said, I see now that, had I gone more quantitative about it, I
might have picked the one you prefer :-D

; git log | grep -c '(man): '
21
; git log | grep -c ': (man)'
289

Unfortunately I didn't.

In any case, if the preference is felt strongly enough to require
rerolls just for that, I believe it would make a great addition to
howto-contribute.txt (or at least applying it consistently in the actual
project commit messages; the most recent '(man): ' is from 19. 4.).

Thanks,

  Štěpán
