How do I know whether the asdf manual I am looking at matches the version of asdf I have installed?

I don't think we can help you with that problem. If your implementation supplies you a copy of ASDF, it should also supply a copy of the manual. There isn't really any way we can tell you how to find that copy of the manual. Presumably it should be located somewhere that's reachable from the manual of the implementation itself, or at least in a doc directory near the implementation's manual.
If the implementation just picked up ASDF without picking up its manual, you could claw your way back to the right manual using (asdf:asdf-version) and then finding the right manual through our git repo, but that seems pretty unpleasant.
I see that SBCL supplies the asdf manual, in /usr/local/share/doc/sbcl/
Allegro does not seem to supply the manual.
Seems like we should encourage the implementations to make the manual available to their users.
Sorry I don't have a better answer for you.

ABCL has [always included the manual in the source distribution][1].
Would you also like it in the binary distribution?

That sounds like a good idea, as long as it's not to much trouble. Best, r

Cmucl doesn't supply the asdf manual, but I will add it for the next release.

The ASDF manual shipped with the [abcl-1.3.2 binary release][1]
