Oh, sorry, this was just me being incompetent. I was testing with
MANSECT=git man git am
and of course
MANSECT=git man git
broke because we are no longer looking in section "1".
Setting the sections properly (by adding "git" to /etc/manpath.config,
or using MANSECT=1:git) and creating a linkfarm in .../man/mangit (with
am.git pointing to ../man1/git-am.1) makes both "man git" and "man git
am" work fine.
The changes to manpath.config make it a bit outside the scope of git's
regular install, but maybe this is something distro people would want to
do.
