Well, to be fair, "man git-add for git add is rather unconventional" is
a valid point...

On the other hand:

 - "man" simply cannot currently handle "man git add", even though there's 
   been some noise to teach it.

 - you can use "git help add" instead, since git itself does understand 
   this. It will just go "man git-add" for you, so that your fingers don't 
   have to type that dash ;)

FWIW, personally I couldn't care less as long as manpages *are* there and
we do not end up with something like "oh, just use info / html / some other
weird crap; manpages are not suitable(tm), dontcha know"

I don't think _that_ is going to happen. You're not the only one who wants 
man-pages.
