  Hello,

  as I promised some time ago, I finally put together a simple GIT
homepage proposal now available at:

	http://git.or.cz/

  Basically, I took r3 of Ryan Anderson's synopsis, pruned and rewrote
it a bit, added some hypertext and tried to very briefly cover the
porcelain as well. Please tell me what you think, and if you happen to
be author of some porcelain, already mentioned or not, feel encouraged
to send me updates to your description (which should stay brief, though)
etc. And if you don't author any porcelain, send me updates anyway. :-)

  If you like it, it's only up to Junio to decide how official to make
it and possibly/probably take over its maintenance (or designate someone
more suitable than me to do that).

  Thanks,

--

Wonderful.

Once the page contents stabilizes, it would be a good idea to
get it added in the page top links of http://www.kernel.org/git
page.  Sorry, I do not know who is in charge of configuring the
gitweb there.

BTW, it may be technically correct, but the combination of
"rsync" and "www" on the 3rd line of http://www.kernel.org/git
caught my attention there ;-).

  cg-clone rsync://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/ + project path

```

I tend to harass Kay Sievers, with measurable effects. :-)

Actually, HTTP should be working again now; but it's rather fresh yet so
we should keep it rsync anyway for a while yet for the users of older
GIT/Cogito versions.

My point being rsync://rsync.kernel.org/ vs http://www.kernel.org/.

You are welcome to do so. :)

Changed both to rsync now. Let me know, when we want to switch to http
again.

Best,
Kay
