I'd rather see it set to an empty string by default which will essentially keep the old output. An alternative would be to default to the location the install-html target installs, i.e. $HOME/share/doc/git-doc pointed by $(htmldir) in Documentation/Makefile.

Distro people should be strongly encouraged to repoint the variable to somewhere local that does not require connections to k.org or anywhere outside the end-user's installation, but that is a slightly separate and different topic.
