This could go into the wiki.

For example, we have
<https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Working_with_Git>, which was added
during the CVS->Git transition.

That's a good idea. I'll add a page to the wiki about this topic and share it on the list for review.
 

This avoids that we make the PostgreSQL documentation a substitute
manual for a third-party product.
