Since commit 20d2a30f8f (Makefile: replace perl/Makefile.PL with simple make rules, 2017-12-10), the Git(3pm) man page is only generated as an indirect dependency of the 'install-doc' and 'install-man' Makefile targets. Consequently, if someone runs 'make man && sudo make install-man' (or their 'doc' counterparts), then Git(3pm) will be generated as root, and the resulting root-owned files and directories will in turn cause the next user-run 'make clean' to fail. This was not an issue in the past, because Git(3pm) was generated when 'make all' descended into 'perl/', which is usually not run as root. List Git(3pm) as a dependency of the 'doc' and 'man' Makefile targets, too, so it gets generated by targets that are usually built as ordinary users. While at it, add 'install-man-perl' to the list of .PHONY targets.
