I can see that this is not GfW specific. $ git help --guides The Git concept guides are: core-tutorial A Git core tutorial for developers credentials Providing usernames and passwords to Git cvs-migration Git for CVS users datamodel Git's core data model diffcore Tweaking diff output everyday A useful minimum set of commands for Everyday Git faq Frequently asked questions about using Git glossary A Git Glossary namespaces Git namespaces remote-helpers Helper programs to interact with remote repositories submodules Mounting one repository inside another tutorial A tutorial introduction to Git tutorial-2 A tutorial introduction to Git: part two workflows An overview of recommended workflows with Git 'git help -a' and 'git help -g' list available subcommands and some concept guides. See 'git help ' or 'git help ' to read about a specific subcommand or concept. See 'git help git' for an overview of the system. Any of the documents that are listed above can be seen correctly $ git help -w everyday But user-manual is not even listed among the above. A few things probably needs to happen. * user-manual and any other "missing" documents need to be identified and added to the above list of --guides. * any of these "missing" documents are not installed with "git" prefix (e.g., "user-manual" becomes "gituser-manual"), their install path may need to be adjusted. The old paths for them may also need to be retained if users have been accessing them via the old pathnames.
