GitHub has a different mechanism for publishing project content.
They expect a special named branch, gh-pages.

Hrm, so if they add a mechanism to name what branch to show the
content from, I could set it from gh-pages to master and we will
have an online HTML pages.  Nice.

I wonder if they can also do historical documents (e.g. manual pages
for release 1.7.0) that way.

I thought it might be of interest that both Google Code and GitHub
provide git-friendly means of publishing project content.
