I think the quick-start is great. Definitely needed to get people up-to-speed with git.

A tarball of git will work, but it's a big bootstrap, and will need periodic updating.
I'm curious whether we couldn't make a git-bootstrap that contained a significantly stripped-down version that did nothing other than bootstrap git. A single program/file (perl script perhaps?) that...
mkdir git cd git rsync -rl rsync://rsync.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git/ .git echo rsync://rsync.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git > .git/branches/origin beginning with .git/HEAD, start extracting files
...and nothing more. Then, we could tell people to just download git-bootstrap and run it to create an up-to-date git repo.
