Yes, bash documentation is not the best packaged (I like the
Solaris man pages for shell builtins much better).  What
`man hash' is trying to tell you to do is run `man bash', then
search the BUILTINS section for hash.

Yes, the bash maintainer did not add the --help option to
his builtins.  Instead, bash provides the builtin help command.
Try `help hash' to see the subset of `man bash' relevant to
the hash command.
