First, I don't think you need to clarify like this. It is just
implementation detail of git-help that it uses 'man', and thus
implicitly relies on MANPATH. The essential thing has been already
stated above: git-help should show correct documentation.
Ok, this is a good argument for the patch.  With Christian's
enhancements, we will handle -i(nfo) and -w(eb) and we will tell the
"info" and "html" browsers where the documentation we installed for the
running instance of git is, so we should do so consistently for
"manpage" browser (aka "man").  You are right.
