Ok, this is a good argument for the patch. With Christian's
enhancements, we will handle -i(nfo) and -w(eb) and we will tell the
"info" and "html" browsers where the documentation we installed for the
running instance of git is, so we should do so consistently for
"manpage" browser (aka "man"). You are right.
