Somebody should work out a cheat-sheet for new git users, or find a URL for
 a good one.

I can't write it, but I'll be glad to review.

I think it falls into 2 parts.  One is read only, how do users who what to build from source get to a particular version.  The other is development: how to distribute patches so others can test them and how to merge them into the main branch.  (and tricks for undoing edits and ...)
