Documentation: add 'git-web--browse.txt' and simplify other docs.
'git-help.txt' and 'git-instaweb.txt' contained duplicated
information about 'git-web--browse'.
This patch puts this information where it belongs.

If it's set, + then its value specify the browser that should be used. + +CONFIGURATION VARIABLES +----------------------- + +The web browser can be specified using a configuration variable passed +with the -c (or --config) command line option, or the 'web.browser' +configuration variable if the former is not used. + +You can explicitly provide a full path to your preferred browser by +setting the configuration variable 'browser.<tool>.path'. For example, +you can configure the absolute path to firefox by setting +'browser.firefox.path'. Otherwise, 'git-web--browse' assumes the tool +is available in PATH. + +Note that these configuration variables should probably be set using +the '--global' flag, for example like this: + +------------------------------------------------ +$ git config --global web.browser firefox +------------------------------------------------ + +as they are probably more user specific than repository specific. +See linkgit:git-config[1] for more information about this. + +Author +------ +Written by Christian Couder <chriscool@tuxfamily.org> and the git-list +<git@vger.kernel.org>, based on git-mergetool by Theodore Y.
