While I agree having a summary of the discussions that took place on the list is great (and I would read it), what I would really like is a 'git-users' list.

The traffic here is very developper-oriented and there isn't much room for casual, beginner-level discussion on the use of git. A lot of projects work that way and I think it's a really useful segregation. And it's really not a lot of work to setup...

I, for one, don't feel comfortable asking beginner question here (perhaps wrongly).

My two cents.
