Perhaps some information from "A note from the maintainer" (posted to this list from time to time) is lacking. Some excerpts: You can browse the HTML manual pages at: http://git-htmldocs.googlecode.com/git/git.html Preformatted documentation from the tip of the "master" branch can be found in: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git-{htmldocs,manpages}.git/ git://repo.or.cz/git-{htmldocs,manpages}.git/ ... Armed with that knowledge, I think Sitaram may have something like this: [remote "htmldocs"] url = git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git-htmldocs.git/ fetch = +refs/heads/master:refs/heads/html and does git fetch htmldocs git checkout html You can, too, of course ;-)
