But in the case of HTML there’s a good reason for the inconsistency. You’re 
heading into hobgoblin territory.

Sure you do, it’s just indirect via GitHub.com. If you want to see how the 
information is stored do a bare clone:
  git clone --bare https://github.com/gnucash/gnucash-docs.git 
<https://github.com/gnucash/gnucash-docs.git>
You’ll see that it’s pretty similar to your gnucash-docs/.git. For a more 
detailed understanding, see

<https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Internals-Plumbing-and-Porcelain>.
