This is a work in progress.
The basic requirements:
- - It must be readable in order, from beginning to end, by
- someone intelligent with a basic grasp of the UNIX
- command line, but without any special knowledge of git. If
- necessary, any other prerequisites should be specifically
- mentioned as they arise.
- - Whenever possible, section headings should clearly describe
- the task they explain how to do, in language that requires
- no more knowledge than necessary: for example, "importing
- patches into a project" rather than "the git-am command"

Think about how to create a clear chapter dependency graph that will
allow people to get to important topics without necessarily reading
everything in between.
Scan Documentation/ for other stuff left out; in particular:
- howto's
- some of technical/?
- hooks
- list of commands in gitlink:git[1]
