Yeah, there are sort of two questions here:

  - should git-scm.com be generating the howto-index, api-index, etc;
    that's an issue that would be solved there (because it has custom
    code to import and format the documentation from git.git).

  - should Documentation/git.txt be more careful about referencing
    potentially-absent html files from the manpage builds. That's an
    issue that should be solved here on the mailing list.
