Yes, we are very close to launching a big redesign of git-scm.com. The manpages will be automatically updated on that site, you can certainly link to them there.

If you want to preview what it's going to look like and the URL structure, you can check out the current working version here:

http://git-scm.herokuapp.com/docs/git-fetch

There are a number of known bugs and I want to make it much faster before I officially launch it and redirect DNS, but you can get an idea of how it will be structured and what it will look like. If you want to start generating docs with static urls for man pages, they can be of the form: http://git-scm.com/docs/git-command

You can also put a version number after them to permalink them at a certain version:

http://git-scm.herokuapp.com/docs/git-fetch/1.7.3.2

When it's close to what I think is ready, I'll do a post to this list looking for feedback and bugs, etc.

Scott
