version-control/README.md: Add a motivational paragraph
The text is adapted from
3976755 (Added the file for lesson 2,
2012-02-04), which I cherry picked out of boot-camps (where it is
d48ceea) [1].

version-control: Add README.md and instructor.md from the guide
Move instructor hints (For Instructors section) and subject outlines
("understand" and "keypoints" classes) from the instructor guide [1]
into the boot camp repository. This is currently targeted at
Subversion, but making these notes tool-agnostic will come in the next
commit. Here I just copy the guide content over while translating it
to Markdown.
For posterity, I've grafted on the guide history. Here's how I
extracted the svn.html history from the guide repository:
1. Start a new branch in the earlier guide repository:
$ git checkout -b wip
d013cab
2. Limit history to svn.html:
$ git filter-branch -f --prune-empty \
> --index-filter 'git rm --cached --ignore-unmatch $(git ls-files | grep -v svn.html)' \
> HEAD
3. Drop no-op merges:
$ git rebase -i
0025ac4
Then I cherry-picked my original boot-camps commit (
c1330e0) onto the
result to create this commit:
$ git cherry-pick
c1330e0
$ git rm svn.html
$ git commit --amend
