The INSTALL file explains:

   Alternatively, pre-formatted documentation is available in
   "html" and "man" branches of the git repository itself.  For
   example, you could:
[...]
   There are also "make quick-install-doc", "make quick-install-man"
   and "make quick-install-html" which install preformatted man pages
   and html documentation.

It does not explain that http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/
contains git-manpages-* and git-htmldocs-* tarballs for people who
do not have git yet, though.

The README file says:

   Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git-scm.com/
   including full documentation and Git related tools.

Maybe this (especially quick-install-doc) can be made more
discoverable somehow.
