Not just that, I am afraid.  This came from 368aa529 (add
git-check-ignore sub-command, 2013-01-06) and it added these:

+linkgit:gitignore[5]
+linkgit:gitconfig[5]
+linkgit:git-ls-files[5]

The last one was later corrected, but who knows what other mistakes
there are?

So I used the script attached at the bottom to audit the whole
thing, and the result is here.

I do not think there is any false positive above, so perhaps the
checker script below can be used as the link checker we discussed?
