There are info pages, but they contain the same text as the manpages. Look in git.git's Documentation/ subtree. There are a few things which don't make it to manpage format (like user-manual.txt, technical/, and howto/) but the manpages are generally the most up-to-date and complete documentation there is.

What are you looking for in particular?
