Hey everyone,

I just shipped a big update to the git-scm.com website, incorporating tons of feedback I've gotten on the site, especially from new users, over the years. I think it will help new users to Git find the right installer and get up and running easier. I have other ideas of things to add to it in the future, but I think this is much better than the site that has served us well for a few years now.

Some other interesting things to note:
* There is now permanent man page hosting here, for example:
http://git-scm.com/docs/git-fsck.  You can also reference any older
version of any command: http://git-scm.com/docs/git-fsck/1.5.5
* We designed a new logo[1] - there are multiple variations available
for download on the site under the most permissive CC license for any
use.
* The Pro Git book (and all of it's translations) has been directly
incorporated into the site and has better permalinks and section
anchors.  progit.org will soon be redirecting to git-scm.com.
* Matthew McCullough has started a video series[2] for newbies and
will continue to do more developer and intermediate type videos as
well.
* There are still a few asciidoc parsing issues that we're working on
- if you find anything that's weird please report it at our issue
tracker: https://github.com/github/gitscm-next/issues

Let me know if you run into anything or there are any features you would like to see. Also, be sure to thank Jason Long for doing all the design for the site, including the new logo (https://github.com/blackant).
