AFAICT we need it, and probably need to adjust it to msysGit
(although
that might not be necessary; I have no time to look into it).
Do you mean it is needed for "git help"? I don't think so. We launch
the HTML browser directly using the Windows API and do not support
man.
Maybe we should consolidate that so that "man" _could_ be launched,
We would need to add the command "man" to msysgit and the
installer; and also checkout Junio's man branch somewhere and add
it to the installer, too.
I'll not look into that because I'm not interested in the
man pages. The HTML help works perfectly for me. However,
I'm not against it. If someone sent a clean patch, I'd
certainly include it.
but
the default is to do HTML help via git-help--browse?
I'm against this. The current solution directly uses a C-API to
tell Windows to display the HTML page. Let's keep it this way.
git-help--browse is yet another shell script; but we want to get
rid of the shell scripts.
