I don't think many people read git(1) directly, as there are many other
starting points to learn Git (official tutorial, user-manual, and tens
of very good tutorial on the web). On the other hand, reading
git-<command> is probably much more common, as it is the only place to
find exhaustive documentation about a particular command.
