Just to make sure I wasn't spewing nonsense, I tried pushing the tip of gitster/git-htmldocs to the "gh-pages" branch of git/htmldocs, and indeed:

  https://git.github.io/htmldocs/git.html

now works. If we like that solution, Junio, you should already have access to just push there (instead of gitster/git-htmldocs, or in addition to if you prefer).

If not, I'll delete the repository (I don't plan on doing further pushes, so leaving it will just confuse people).

I see that we _do_ have an index.html symlink in the built tree, but it does not seem to actually work via GitHub Pages.
