Dredging up from memory, I think the omission of "-" from the Makefile line was intentional since I specifically handled the case of missing "git" command in the script itself by ignoring any error from it. Specifically, this excerpt from doc-diff:

    if test -n "$clean"
    then
        test $# -eq 0 || usage
        git worktree remove --force "$tmp/worktree" 2>/dev/null
        rm -rf "$tmp"
        exit 0
    fi

in which a problem invoking git is explicitly ignored and the script exits cleanly, so no Makefile "-" is needed.

Unfortunately, I forgot about the:

    . "$(git --exec-path)/git-sh-setup"

which happens earlier in the script.
