The man pages are something that needs careful consideration. Some man programs use the PATH as a hint to figure out which man page to show --- i.e., if /usr/local/bin/git-log is in the path then it's likely that the man page you want to show is the one in /usr/local/man/man1/git-log.1. If we don't install git-log in the PATH, for some setups people won't be able to see the man page for git-log. - Ted
