That doesn't look right.  I think you want

  %.7: %.xml
      xmlto man %<

  %.1: %.xml
       xmlto man $<
       [ test -f $@ ] || mv git.1 $@

[ Looks like you mixed up %.1 and %.7 ]

Yes, separating the rule for %.1 and %.7 might be clearer. But it would
be great if it would work for any man page in section 7 not just git.7.
Since I hope to add cogito.7 soon.
