I doubt you find *anyone* who relies on the current behaviour, so I am
suggesting changing man.  That's why the man author was on the recipient
list, but you removed it.

[and I put him back...]

Unfortunately what we don't have is a proposal that would work better.
 Also, changing the behaviour of 'man' wouldn't work on any platform
other than Linux (presumably), which means the git documentation
wouldn't be able to rely on that behaviour.

Still, in a perfect world, what *should* man do in such a case?
Automatically open /usr/man/man1/git/clone.1?

Thanks,
