In modes derived from special-mode (e.g., help or info buffers), q is bound to quit-window, which will bury the buffer but not kill it. Most of the time I DO want it to kill the buffer too, though, which can be achieved with C-u q.

Emacs 31.1 made this a lot easier by adding a variable called quit-window-kill-buffer:

TIL that if you mark some files in a dired buffer, magit-dired-log will show you the commits that touched the marked files:

"In Dired, show log for all marked files or the directory if none are marked."
