In the rendered version, this looks like:

	The The Git User's Manual[1] has a more in-depth introduction.

Presumably the first "The" should be dropped from either the link or
the surrounding text.

 If you just need to use Git as a revision control system you may prefer
 to start with "A Tutorial Introduction to Git" (linkgit:gittutorial[7]) or
-link:user-manual.html[the Git User Manual].
+link:user-manual.html[The Git User's Manual].
This comes out as

	... you may prefer to start with "A Tutorial Instruction to Git"
	(gittutorial(7)) or The Git User's Manual[1].

The capital 'T' in "The" looks a bit strange, but a lowercase 't' in
the corresponding footnote would also look strange.  We can't have
everything, I guess.

A possible fix would be to drop the "The" from the link.  The way you
have it here also seems fine.
