Perhaps some information from "A note from the maintainer" (posted
to this list from time to time) is lacking.  Some excerpts:

    You can browse the HTML manual pages at:

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

    Preformatted documentation from the tip of the "master" branch can be
    found in:

            git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git-{htmldocs,manpages}.git/
            git://repo.or.cz/git-{htmldocs,manpages}.git/
            ...


Armed with that knowledge, I think Sitaram may have something like
this:

	[remote "htmldocs"]
		url = git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git-htmldocs.git/
		fetch = +refs/heads/master:refs/heads/html

and does

	git fetch htmldocs
        git checkout html

You can, too, of course ;-)
