There is already something that _can_ be called "info manual for Git". It's basically info version of Git User's Manual: http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/user-manual.html Regular man pages are also available in info format. The info manuals are not written in native info format, though. They are generated from the asciidoc markup files, through xml format. There are some problems with typesetting as some characters simply disappear in the "asciidoc -> xml -> texi -> info" conversion. Two dashes (--) turn into one (-), for example. But if you are not too demanding the info manuals are quite usable. You can compile them with "make info" command.
