onramping developers new to git
The TODO item "Write some documentation about git usage for our developer, existing page Subversion could be used as a starting point, and a list of useful links." -- well, we have some raw material in Brion's presentation at NOLA hackathon: NOLA Hackathon/Sunday, File:Git notes - NOLA Hackathon 2011.pdf, File:Git notes - NOLA Hackathon 2011.oga.

git protocol?
