Square brackets indicate links, you should have a NOTES section
at the bottom of the man page which contains something like this:
1. revert-a-faulty-merge How-To
file:///usr/share/doc/git/html/howto/revert-a-faulty-merge.html
To my knowledge those are not available as man pages.

References to other man pages generally use round brackets, for
example git-merge(1).
I checked the git-scm.com website [1] and interestingly they use
square brackets for these references which confused me a little.
Not sure if it's worth changing though.
