Git in a Nutshell guide

Hi everybody,

I have been involved in a somewhat painful process of trying to convert a bunch of scientific programmers from being CVS users to becoming git users. In this process I ended up writing a sort of git in a nutshell guide for non-technical users. It struck me that this might be of interest to others as well. I'm not a grand git wizard myself, so the guide is probably not entirely correct in every respect. All comments and suggestions are welcome! I have also written a CVS2git transition guide, which outlines one possible way of converting from CVS to git. This guide has some overlap with the Git in a Nutshell guide, since I started with the CVS2git guide and then realised it was not quite enough. It would probably be a good idea to slim down the CVS2git guide, and move some of the discussion to the Nushell guide instead. Let me know what you think. Both guides still need quite a bit of polishing, but I hope they can be useful and interesting in the crusade against CVS/SVN ;)If you think the guides could benefit other users, they could maybe be posted (or at least linked) on the git site.

The guides, including the LaTeX source, are available via gitweb: http://git.jonas.iki.fi/gitweb.cgi?p=git_guides.git;a=summary
