If there is interest in this, we would be happy to host the
documentation. Let me know if that is the case, and we can give it a
much better URL than schacon.github.com. However, I tend to think that
since the project is hosted[1] at kernel.org, the official documentation
site should be there as well.

kernel.org is probably the most "official" place for developers, but for
Git users, http://git-scm.com/ is most likely the best entry point. If
it were not for historical reasons, I think http://git-scm.com/docs/ or
so would be the most natural URL to host official docs.

Good point. That is probably the best place to host it.

As far as historical reasons, perhaps the right answer is to put the
documentation where it makes sense to go _now_, and ask kernel.org to
issue http redirects for http://kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs.
