We have the build configuration option DEFAULT_MAN_FORMAT to choose a format different from man pages to be used by 'git help' when no format is requested explicitly. Since 65db0443 (Set the default help format to html for msys builds, 2013-06-04) we use html on Windows by default.

There is one test in t3200-branch.sh that invokes a help page. The intent of the redirections applied to the command invocation is to avoid that the man page viewer interferes with the automated test. But when the default format is not "man", this does not have the intended effect, and the HTML manual page is opened during the test run. Request "man" format explicitly to keep the test silent.

 I've posted this patch to the msysgit list in July, and Dscho has picked
 it up for Git on Windows.
