Just wondering, who updates
https://kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/
and why hasn't it been updated in a while?
(currently it says Last updated 2015-06-06 at the bottom)

Nobody. It is too cumbersome to use their upload tool to update many
files (it is geared towards updating a handful of tarballs at a time).

Then, I guess it would make sense to remove it to avoid pointing users
to outdated docs?

Actually, it turns out that k.org folks have an auto-builder that
updates the documentation set for each release.  It hasn't been run
since v2.5 days, though, until very recently.

I was told that the above URL currently should be showing v2.9.0
docs.

The rule for https://kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/ currently
is that it shows documentation set for a released, but this is
likely to change in the future (s/a released/the latest release/ at
the minimum, with some definition of "the latest").

Also https://kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/v2.4.0/git.html
would give you the documentation set for that version.
