Thanks for assembling these examples.

I don't mind having these in the technical documentation, but I think most users won't find them there (nor would they even know they need to be looking). Maybe the manpage for git-http-backend would be a better spot. We can mention v2 in the "description" section, and then there's some example config near the end that could include it.

Unfortunately there isn't any nginx example config there at all yet. If you have kernel.org config you could share, that would be great. But even starting with just the "here's how you do v2" part would be welcome.
