On Cygwin we have man, so `git help init` (or `git init --help`)

We open the html pages. That is, we don't yet, since we do not
generate the html pages just yet; asciidoc is a Python program, and
Python is not available as an MSys program as far as I know (and
asciidoc insists on finding files in a Unix-like file structure,
so we
_do_ need an MSys Python).
I propose to clone the html pages from git.git's html branch and
include
them in the installer. I continue to believe that this is the
simplest
and fastest solution for providing html pages.
I'm hesitant... The html branch is synced with the master branch.
And we
deviate from the master branch quite a lot ATM.
We could choose a specific commit from the html branch for the WinGit
release. I don't think we'll need modifications to the documentation
in msysgit. Selecting an older version that matches the state of msysgit
should be sufficient.
Fixes to the documentation could be committed directly to git.git.
I'll provide a patch (hopefully next week).
This will be a good temporary workaround.
The patch following soon will assume that html is available. Maybe
we could add it as a submodule of msysgit?
I haven't looked into the submodule mechanisms and therefore will
not include it in the patch. I just manually cloned the html branch.
For now, this may be sufficient to create a WinGit installer.
