Hi

Would it make sense to add something like this to the announcements as
it is not very easy to find references to the git-repository itself from
the net.

   You can get the git repository-itself by using a following commands

           git-clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git git_repo

   After that you can switch to tagged version <v1.5.0-rc1> or sources
from the repository by using command

          git-checkout -f v1.5.0-rc1 master

   Alternatively you can download the tar packed version of sources from
      
          http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/

Be careful, this gives you a old-fashioned repository, the repositories
created by 1.5.0-rc are different, and 1.4.4.4 doesn't grok them:
