Not only that. For a week now, two of my build jobs have been failing (the one testing `pu` verbatim and the one testing Git for Windows' patches rebased on top of `pu`) because the test does not actually test what was just built, but relies on the Git man pages to be installed.

So it needs more than just the review discussion to settle.

Ciao, Dscho
