I think that link to "Git Community Book" (http://book.git-scm.com) on Git
Documentation page (http://git-scm.com/documentation) got replaced by the
link to "Pro Git" book; I guess becaue the former is not finished and it
doesn't look like it would be finished soon.

requires only Perl and is actively developed.

Nb. even Gitosis author recommends Gitolite:

  Update (12-12-2010): For additional features not present in gitosis,
  check out gitolite.

Yes, GitHub:FI (this one proprietary), Gitorious (powering gitorious.org),
InDefero, Gitblit and Girocco + gitweb (the last one powering http://repo.or.cz)
are all full-fledged git hosting sites, with web interface to view and
manage repositories.
