Comment (by kngspook@…):

 Manpages as a whole are not shipped with git-core by default; instead we
 automatically download a separate git-manpages package that the git
 maintainers provide, and that contains manpages for all the default git
 commands (some other package management systems treat git's manpages as a
 separate package).

 Unfortunately, git similarly doesn't ship with a manpage for git-subtree
 in contrib/subtree/. Instead they generate it at the "make install-doc"
 phase, and the generation uses asciidoc and xmlto. I filed a request with
 them that they do so (https://code.google.com/p/git-
 core/issues/detail?id=18), but in the meantime I wasn't sure what to do. I
 could've provided a patch that would've dropped the manpage into the
 contrib/ directory, but that didn't seem sustainable (though I don't
 anticipate the manpage to change frequently -- it hasn't from v.1.7.12 to
 v1.8.0), so if building with +subtree, we pull in a bunch of other
 dependencies...
