You could end up cloning the “git” organization htmldocs repository[1] which is named “htmldocs”. So you would need to provide `git-htmldocs` as the second argument. But it’s easier to clone the GitHub “gitster” user repositories since they have the expected names. The aforementioned “git” repository also uses `gh-pages` instead of `master`. Which means that the `quick-install-html` target will fail since it expects `master` (`GIT_MAN_REF`).
