Hi,

I have proposed to my boss to use GIT as our SCM. We currently do
not even use one :/ and thus, there are things they need to
learn. I've already shown them GIT's documentation but I do not
think it will be enough. So here is my first question: is there
plan to release a book on GIT ?

Thank you,

Not that I've heard of.  We are trying to get
Documentation/user-manual.txt banged into shape, though--and someone
with the right docbook skills could probably make a printable pdf out of
it if you want something you can hold in your hands.

Could you take a look at that and see what more it would need to suit
your purposes?
