Currently, src/git/install.sh only installs files necessary for operation. For convenience, add an option to install documentation (install-doc) or at least manpages (install-man).

Hi 👋

Have you looked at the common-utils Feature? It installs manpages.

Just manpages are not enough. It should be specifically from the git version being installed.

For example, installing git 2.45.0 should install (and only install) git man pages for version 2.45.0 and specifically that version only. This is especially important for experimental or new git commands.

In particular, it should not install from OS package repository, which tends to get outdated quickly especially on LTS distros.
