I think we should try to keep the git documentation mostly confined to
tools that are distributed with git itself.  So it might be worth a few
words just to mention the existance of tailor and how it compares to
other tools, but I'd leave it at that.

So in fact it might be that what's needed isn't any new documentation on
the available tools with their features and limitations.

(Uh, I meant to say: "isn't any new documentation on individual tools,
but rather a list of the available tools with their features and
limitations.")

I know that when I recently had to deal with a svn tree the hardest part
was figuring out where to start (git-svn?  git-svnimport?).  I seem to
recall threads here suggesting this is a general problem.

One exception--the "series of tarballs" thing--I think it's cool that
you can just unpack a bunch of tarballs and string them together into a
git history.  It gives a good sense of how git works, and I don't think
it's documented explicitly anywhere.  I think that might be kinda fun to
write up.  But I haven't tried.
