The git port (9418) is officially listed by IANA now.
So document it.

Btw, another thing happened yesterday too: I'm now officially using a packed archive for my core kernel stuff. The format hasn't changed in I-don't-know-how-long, and I can't recall any pack-specific bug either (apart from the obvious lack of support by some of the client-side stuff).

Goodie. Me happy.
