git fetch --help does not work in self-hosting

See original GitHub issue

When doing ‘git fetch --help’ in the theia-dev container following che-theia/Contributing.md, I get an error:

git fetch --help
warning: failed to exec 'man': No such file or directory
fatal: no man viewer handled the request

I would expect help to work for installed commands.
