+man.<tool>.path::
+ Override the path for the given tool that may be used to
+ display help in the 'man' format. See linkgit:git-help[1].
+
mergetool.<tool>.path::
Override the path for the given tool. This is useful in case
your tool is not in the PATH.
If everything fails the 'man' program will be tried anyway.
+man.<tool>.path
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+You can explicitly provide a full path to your preferred man viewer by
+setting the configuration variable 'man.<tool>.path'. For example, you
+can configure the absolute path to konqueror by setting
+'man.konqueror.path'. Otherwise, 'git help' assumes the tool is
+available in PATH.
+
Note about git config --global
