This was mainly about ensuring that the 'git help' command could access these extra extra guides that it currently misses. (Tt also misses the 'user-manual', which isn't a man page, but could have a link page to guide the seeker of truth between 'git help' and the actual user-manual)

The only method I can see for that (via help.c) is to get the filename format correct. Where you thinking of something else?
