Ok, to clarify this discussion for people who have been pulling from me and have been wondering where to reset their "origin" to...

 * I'll start to also push into https://github.com/git/git/ directly,
   treating it like git://repo.or.cz/alt-git.git/ and other secondary
   distribution points, that have the integration branches, todo, html and
   man.

 * Eventually git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git/ will again start
   receiving my direct pushes just like it used to. The secondary
   distribution points will also get my pushes directly (I've made sure
   with Scott that mirroring into https://github.com/git/git/ from my
   k.org repository will stay turned off).

 * https://github.com/gitster/git.git/ will stay a mirror of my private
   development repository with the topic branches (but without non-source
   branches like html and mah).

I haven't figured out how the preformatted documentation branches will be managed in the longer term, as it seems likely that I no longer would have the post-update hook access to update them upon pushing into my k.org repository. I might end up dropping these branches altogether if it gets too cumbersome for me to maintain, but I do not know yet.
