The pages reachable from this used to be living documents in that every
time the 'master' branch was updated at k.org, automatically a server side
hook script generated a new set of HTML pages and updated them.

My understanding is that we do not want to run such random server side
hooks at k.org, so it no longer can be a living document anymore.

It might be a workable short term workaround to redirect

    http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/$anything

to

    http://schacon.github.com/git/$anything

although that would not give you an access to the list of documentations
for older releases, e.g.

    http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/v1.6.0/git.html

Amen.
