Description

Problem

The new unstable commands

  • cargo report sessions
  • cargo report rebuilds
  • cargo report timings

don't have their own command documentation like other commands.

We'll need to follow how we document cargo report future-incompatibilties in https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/16430 in order to document them.

Proposed Solution

Document these commands by the same approach of https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/16430.

Notes

Blocked on https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/16430.

Research direction

Start by reading PR 16430 and follow how cargo report future-incompatibilities receives command documentation. Add equivalent man-page documentation for cargo report sessions, rebuilds, and timings, then verify that each command has its own generated documentation.
