Did anyone submit a patch to git to work well when no man pages are installed? Also please note that all man packages have a *-doc suffix, not the *-man. It probably can't be renamed now but just to note this to avoid in future.
The git package itself also contains a lot of docs in the /usr/share/doc/git folder: It looks like some of them should be moved to a separate folder RelNotes: why would I need the release notes starting from v1.5.0 contrib: it contains some additional tools that not even related to a documentation and definitely should be extracted to a separate package README files: they are for git devs themselves In total all these files take 2.2 MB of disk space. If we can make the git smaller that would be great. Even now it's not that big to be included by default to desktop distributions to make it easier for students or new users to start programming.
