Thanks for the explanation, makes sense.

I might try to put together some more extensive documentation patches
over the next couple weeks if you're willing to take them.  Plain git
actually seems to have pretty usable interfaces at this point, but it's
not always obvious where to find them....

I also have Yet Another Git Tutorial, at
http://www.fieldses.org/~bfields/kernel/git.html.  (Corrections and
suggestions welcomed.)
