I'd rather see it set to an empty string by default which will essentially
keep the old output.  An alternative would be to default to the location
the install-html target installs, i.e. $HOME/share/doc/git-doc pointed by
$(htmldir) in Documentation/Makefile.

Distro people should be strongly encouraged to repoint the variable to
somewhere local that does not require connections to k.org or anywhere
outside the end-user's installation, but that is a slightly separate and
different topic.
