Hey all,

I just wanted to let those of you who are interested know that I've been making a lot of progress on the Git Community Book (http://book.git-scm.com) I was wondering if anyone was interested in helping me with a few parts. For one, there are some sections that I personally have very little experience with, and was looking for some notes/blog posts/personal experiences on, namely Advanced History Modification (filter-branch, advanced rebasing, etc), Corruption Recovery, Branch Tracking, Subversion Integration, Git with Perl/Python/PHP, and Using Git with Editors (especially NetBeans/Eclipse).

Also, the last section of the book is on some of the plumbing - mostly stuff I've found difficult to pick up with the existing documentation while re-implementing stuff in Ruby. I would really appreciate it if someone could proofread some of these chapters for errors:

http://book.git-scm.com/7_the_packfile.html http://book.git-scm.com/7_raw_git.html http://book.git-scm.com/7_transfer_protocols.html

Some of the next things I'm interested in producing is a cookbook style guide and some searching tools for all the online documentation, just to keep everyone up to date on where I'm going with the project. Also, there is now a simple PDF downloadable version of the book available and being kept up to date with the html version.

Thanks, Scott
