git-help expects html docs in /usr/share/doc/git-doc but the ebuild installs it to a non-standard location (e.g. /usr/share/doc/git-1.5.6.4/html). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. $ git help -w clone Actual Results: fatal: '/usr/share/doc/git-doc': not a documentation directory. Expected Results: file:///usr/share/doc/git-1.5.6.4/html/git-clone.html is opened in a web browser. The html doc path is set at compile time using the GIT_HTML_PATH define. A non-standard location can be set by overriding the htmldir variable in the Makefile.
