There is some configuration magic about what is a section. Try

  perl -pi -e 's/^SECTION.*/$& git/' /etc/manpath.config

That seems to convince my man to look in .../mangit, but I'm having
trouble actually getting it to find a page and I don't have time to
investigate further now.
Ah, OK. My problem was that the pages actually need to be named "am.git",
etc. But with 'git' in the section field, "man git am" does work.
Unfortunately, it seems to break "man git". :(

Yeah, that pretty much makes it not a general solution.
