I'm just wondering, would it be simpler to just do this as part of the git 
recipe itself and have the manpages go into git-doc? Then you would get the 
documentation automatically if you had git in your image and doc-pkgs in 
IMAGE_FEATURES, plus we wouldn't have to remember to upgrade this every time 
we upgraded the git recipe.

Cheers,
Paul
