We attribute each documentation text file to a man section by finding a
line in the file that looks like "gitfoo(<digit>)". Commit cc75e556a9
("scalar: add to 'git help -a' command list", 2022-09-02) updated this
logic to look not only for "gitfoo" but also "scalarfoo". In doing so,
it forgot to account for the fact that after the updated regex has found
a match, the man section is no longer to be found in `$1` but now lives
in `$2`.
This makes our git(1) manpage look as follows:
Main porcelain commands
git-add(git)
Add file contents to the index.
[...]
gitk(git)
The Git repository browser.
scalar(scalar)
A tool for managing large Git repositories.
Restore the man sections by grabbing the correct value out of the regex
match.
