It adds the value of:

 * If you're looking at e.g. git-subtree's manpage it doesn't have it,
   so we're clearly marking things that are part of git itself, also if
   you're doing e.g. "man git-annex" (or other non-git.git tool)
   somewhere.

 * Once you're at the bottom of a manpage in e.g. a web view it's a
   handy link back to the start, see
   e.g. https://git-scm.com/docs/git-add#_git
