You may need to install extra packages on your machine as it has quite a few requirements. In particular <tt>asciidoc</tt> must be at least version 7 unless you want to hack the MakeFile~s. If you are running DebianLinux Sarge you will need to take this from testing. See AptNotes for more details on how to do this.
Alternatively the man pages can be found at http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/ if you don't have permissions to install locally from the [Git] [Package] (although you can always have local man pages if you setup your enivronment variables correctly).

[Git] is OpenSource and itself kept in a [Git] archive available at [rsync://rsync.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/git.git]. This now includes <i>gitk</i> which is quite a useful tool for viewing what's inside a [Git] graphically. To be able to use [Git], you need to bootstrap your installation using the TarBall at [http://www.codemonkey.org.uk/projects/git-snapshots/git/].

+> Torvalds seemed aware that his decision to drop BitKeeper would also be controversial. When asked why he called the new software, "git," British slang meaning "a rotten person," he said. "I'm an egotistical bastard, so I name all my projects after myself. First Linux, now git."
