Funnily enough, he chose to title it the "Git Community Book". Hard to match Scott's enthusiasm; this is the second major initiative we've seen from him in the last few days (the other being git-scm.com itself) which to the casual onlooker might look like the "official" Git homepage and documentation, but in both cases development occurred behind the scenes and the list was only notified after the fact. Better late than never I suppose.

Even though there might not be an automated way to get changes back from the fork, if there are clear improvements made then there is at least no legal obstacle to incorporating them back in, the only obstacle would be time and willingness to do so manually.
