It seems like there are enough git man pages that they deserve their
own "honorary" subsections. Compare:
$ ls -R /usr/share/man/man?|sed ...|sort|uniq -c
     19 1p
    175 1posix
     45 1ssl
     10 1x
    487 3perl
    403 3pm
OK, the subsections would be 1git, 5git, and 7git.

However git-whatever is not something one can exactly can invoke from
the shell anymore, is it proper to have such a named man page?
Choices are e.g.,:
$ apropos apply
git-apply (1git)     - Apply a patch on a git index file and a working tree
git apply (1git)     - Apply a patch on a git index file and a working tree
apply (1git)         - Apply a patch on a git index file and a working tree
Oh no, something wrong with each. You guys fight it out. I'm outta here.
