Hi,

The INSTALL file says that docs are not built by default, but that's not my experience. "make all" results in the generation of several Perl man pages, e.g. "Git.3pm". Is it the case that the behaviour documented is not propagated to the perl subdir?

Also, setting --mandir=/dev/null still results in the pages being installed in their usual location (at least in combination with setting --prefix to avoid disturbing my production git installation).

Regards, Neil
