For the same reason you don't put compiled source into git. Well, theoretically. According to: http://git.kernel.org/?p=git/git.git;a=blob_plain;f=MaintNotes;hb=todo the git project's repository itself tracks generated documentation for practical reasons: The "html" and "man" [branches] are autogenerated documentation from the tip of the "master" branch; the tip of "html" is extracted to be visible at kernel.org at: http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
