Good.  I just ran
	$ git grep '`https*://' Documentation/

to see if any hits I see are for the real URL the user may want to click on. There are some that are pointing at real sites, but I do not think users would want to clickon many of them while reading the documentation.

Except perhaps for these to see what's there:

Documentation/git-archimport.txt: Attempt to auto-register archives at `http://mirrors.sourcecontrol.net` Documentation/git-cvsimport.txt:* cvs2git (part of cvs2svn), `http://subversion.apache.org/`
