This hopefully is a final version of the usage message to show how to access the git(1) manual page.

The V3 change is Eric's suggestion to use 'See'.

I have also taken the opportunity [Patch 2/2] to pick up peff's suggestion to include the git-scm doc link, and also correct the mis-quoting of a link to the html formatted github doc pages.

Philip Oakley (2):
  git.c: show usage for accessing the git(1) help page
  Doc: git.txt: remove backticks from link and add git-scm.com/docs
