Details

contrib/subtree's `install-doc` target, installs both html and manpages.
If only manpages are intended, `install-man` should be used instead.

This came up on irc when discussing if html docs should be provided by extra/git (in order to not break $git help -w git) or if they should be provided separately.
This task depends upon

Yup, having just the one file there is quite inconsistent.

Though as I said on IRC, I'm personally of the opinion that the extra space is not merited just to duplicate documentation already available as manpages.

Html documentation is built, the package just doesn't install it.

If size/documentation duplication is a concern, we could make a split package named git-htmldocs. And let the user choose if he wants it on his system.

Otherwise might as well change the "make doc" in build() to "make man".
