It's perhaps more honest, but kfmclient is not as well known as konqueror.
I am not a KDE user at all and it is true that outside from here,
konqueror is a well known program whereas kfmlient is not (by the
way what is exactly kfmclient ?).
Isn't a documentation patch like this enough:
------8<---------
diff --git a/Documentation/git-help.txt b/Documentation/git-help.txt
index 4c6cb21..0ece412 100644
--- a/Documentation/git-help.txt
+++ b/Documentation/git-help.txt
@@ -87,7 +87,8 @@ is chosen. Only the following values are currently
supported:
* "man": use the 'man' program as usual,
* "woman": use 'emacsclient' to launch the "woman" mode in emacs
(this only works starting with emacsclient versions 22),
-* "konqueror": use a man KIO slave in konqueror.
+* "konqueror": use kfmclient to open the man page in a new konqueror
+tab.
I find this clearer at user point of view than the older entry.
Regards,
Xavier
