"make all" results in the generation of several Perl man pages, e.g. "Git.3pm". Is it the case that the behaviour documented is not propagated to the perl subdir? Also, setting --mandir=/dev/null still results in the pages being installed in their usual location (at least in combination with setting --prefix to avoid disturbing my production git installation).
