So I don't think it's even true that new people should be pointed at cg 
any more.
Google points to git.or.cz ;-)
How does Google point to something? You mean the last time you ran the 
search, the top find _for you_ was git.or.cz?
I just checked today.  If you go to http://www.google.com, and enter
"git", and then click on "I'm feeling lucky", you will go to
http://git.or.cz.  One of the first links you will then see,
misleading titled in a box labelled, "Git crash courses", are "Git for
CVS users", and "Git for SVN users", and both of these getting started
documents reference cg commands and only cg commands.

So when projects downgrade git as having confusing documentation, and
tutorials that contradict each other about how to do things, this is
very likely one of the reasons why.
