% rm -rf /opt/git/share/man
% make prefix=/opt/git quick-install-man
make -C Documentation quick-install-man
    SUBDIR ../
make[2]: `GIT-VERSION-FILE' is up to date.
'/bin/sh' ./install-doc-quick.sh origin/man /opt/git/share/man
% make prefix=/opt/git quick-install-man
make -C Documentation quick-install-man
    SUBDIR ../
make[2]: `GIT-VERSION-FILE' is up to date.
'/bin/sh' ./install-doc-quick.sh origin/man /opt/git/share/man
