Huh? I'm not going to translate the man pages.

This is about providing a localised glossary. It just so happens that we
have a glossary as a man page already, so I'm leveraging it.

I think git help is good as is.

Or do you suggest integrating the glossary lookup command in "git help"?
For my taste, "git help" does a lot of magic already (in terms of
revolving "foo" in "git help foo"). What it does not do is translating.
Integrating "glossary" in "help" would require the use of mode changing
options to get the same functionality as "git glossary" and "git
glossary foo". So, git help is really for help about commands, and git
younameit for localised help about terms.
