This patch was inspired by ClearCase command 'ct man' which
opens an html help file on Windows. I at first attempted to
implement it for MinGW port only but found it so useful that I
wanted to have it even in Linux.
A new option '--help' is added to git. When git-help is called
with --help, it will try to open html files located at
$(sharedir)/html using xdg-open. HTML files are not installed
by default so users have to install them manually or have their
distributors to do that.
Do you mean a new option '--html'?
