http://git-htmldocs.googlecode.com/git/git.html says

 There was no service found for the uri requested.

Link to the HTML documentation on repo.or.cz instead.

I'd rather use an up-to-date https link for the rendered documentation, but I wasn't able to find one. According to the 'todo' branch, prebuilt documentation is pushed to

 1. https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/git/git-htmldocs
 2. git://repo.or.cz/git-htmldocs
 3. somewhere on git.sourceforge.jp and git.sourceforge.net?
 4. https://github.com/gitster/git-htmldocs
 5. https://github.com/git/htmldocs

Of these, (1) and (4) don't provide a raw view with content-type text/html. (5) might be available as HTML through Jekyll, but I wasn't able to find it --- e.g., https://git.github.io/htmldocs does not show those pages. I wasn't able to find (3) at all. That leaves (2).
