Sorry to be dense, but: isn't the right place to install git-work.1
one of
/usr/local/share/man
/usr/share/man
/opt/man
$HOME/man
$prefix/man
depending on where the git-work binary was installed? In the $prefix
case, the same snippet in .profile that adds $prefix/bin to the $PATH
would also say
MANPATH=$prefix/man:$(manpath)
Or is the idea to blindly install (a symlink to) git-work to $(git
--exec-path)/ rather than a place on the $PATH? In this case, I would
be a little worried. How will the helper deal with uninstallation and
with namespace conflicts? (On the $PATH, these are expected problems
and I'd expect each user has some way of dealing with them already.)
