That's my personal preference but other people may differ; wasn't there an issue with "man" backend losing the typesetting information?

How about a fork of git.git on repo.or.cz that branches from 1.6.2 and that:
 - does not pull from git.git/master unless absoletely necessary; and
 - contains only these clean-up changes and nothing else?

A bonus point would be for a publically reachable pages rendered out of the tip of this "documentation updates" repository, so that people can view it, compare it with www.kernel.org/pub/software/git/docs/.

I would love to have a separate "documentation maintainer" in the longer run, and it would be great if your tree becomes it. I can start pulling from you, forwarding any documentation patches your way.

Thanks.
