Looks nice, starting to look it over.

Notes:

Getting started:

  There are RPM packages available (I think they are for latest Fedora; in
  case of doubt get the latest SRPM and build yourself, sometimes the
  distros lag /way/ behind). There are also Debian packages there, dunno
  about those.

Basic tasks:

  'git pull' should be enough, no need to give the URL each time.
  It is useful to tell people how to get "nonofficial" branches (via URL +
  branches) too.

Miscellaneous debris:

  'git pull' has gotten tags each time for me?
