The portion of elisp in el-get that adds the .info suffix: #+begin_src emacs-lisp (if (string= (substring infofile -5) ".info") infofile (concat infofile ".info")) #+end_src (Side note, I did try a work around, https://github.com/SkydiveMike/el-get/commit/88920c84bbe4d814bae1e79cdda163315d8d8d24that doesn't work). Is only called if the ~dir~' file does not exist (and other conditions) and as part of creating a command string for ~/usr/bin/install-info~. Since an non-built (no execution of ~make~) Org mode Git clone has a ~dir~ file, this code is never called. I also don't believe that ~cp org org.info~ in ~$HOME/.emacs.d/el-get/org-mode/~ fixes things (I currently can't get the correct info to display using that).
