Hi,
The attached patch against 1.5.4.4 (from NixOS/Nixpkgs) fixes build of the user manual in Info (i.e., `git.info') through Docbook2X 0.8.8. Actually, it does two things:
1. Fix the value of `DOCBOOK2TEXI' to match the name currently used in
Docbook2X (I don't know when that name change occurred). 2. Disable build of `gitman.info', which cannot be built because of
duplicate node names: $ makeinfo gitman.texi
gitman.texi:273: Node `DESCRIPTION' previously defined at line 153.
gitman.texi:281: Node `OPTIONS' previously defined at line 163.
gitman.texi:360: Node `DISCUSSION' previously defined at line 205.
[...]A related patch against Docbook2X 0.8.8 is needed to make `--to-stdout' work as expected [0].
Thanks, Ludovic.

This patch does two things: (1) use the right name for `docbook2texi', and (2) make sure `gitman.info' isn't produced since it's broken (duplicate node names).
