What about the core-tutorial.txt? It is also included in the Git User Manual. We could backport the changes and actually do an include::core-tutorial.txt[] in the user-manual.txt.

Sure.

Actually, there's at least three documents with some overlap:
	- the core tutorial
	- tutorial-2.txt
	- the "DISCUSSION" section of git.7, also chapter 8 of the user
	  manual, also previously the README.

I'd eventually like to get those down to just one or two.

Updating the core-tutorial and figuring out how to work it into the manual might be a good first step.
