   It's perhaps more honest, but kfmclient is not as well known as konqueror.

I am not a KDE user at all and it is true that outside from here, konqueror is a well known program whereas kfmlient is not (by the way what is exactly kfmclient ?).

   Isn't a documentation patch like this enough:

   ------8<---------

   diff --git a/Documentation/git-help.txt b/Documentation/git-help.txt

   supported:
    * "man": use the 'man' program as usual,
    * "woman": use 'emacsclient' to launch the "woman" mode in emacs
    (this only works starting with emacsclient versions 22),
   -* "konqueror": use a man KIO slave in konqueror.
   +* "konqueror": use kfmclient to open the man page in a new konqueror
   +tab.

I find this clearer at user point of view than the older entry.
