I don't have info(1) installed, because I use Emacs' internal info client.
I was curious to see what would happen when I tried to run git help -i.
It turns out that it silently fails.  It SHOULD print an error of some sort.

$ strace -f git help log -i |& grep info
stat64("/usr/lib/git-core/git-mailinfo", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0755, st_size=861076, 
...}) = 0
stat64("/usr/lib/git-core/git-update-server-info", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0755, 
st_size=334400, ...}) = 0
execve("/usr/lib/git-core/info", ["info", "gitman", "git-log"], [/* 41 vars 
*/]) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
execve("/usr/local/bin/info", ["info", "gitman", "git-log"], [/* 41 vars */]) =
