Limit the primer to the usual work flow that committer should follow.

Put unusual workflows to other documentation.

Show me how to get the ports tree, make a change, check it in.

Cover common things we used to do, and how to do them now.

For example svn cp, when moving something in the ports tree
(say from one category to another).  What do we do with git?
