That is not surprise as gitattributes(5), gitignore(5) and gitmodules(5)
work by design.  They are valid manual pages in section 5 (file formats).

I am not sure about hooks let alone gitcli --- they are not something you
would traditionally place in section 5.

It would be nice if "git help <any path you see in Documentation/>" worked
as expected, although I personally tend to go to the *.txt files ;-)
