Hi,

And yes, I decided to so because I had trouble myself during initial 
configurations. What's the problem if a document called "git for CVS 
users" is more explicated? What's the problem if it contains as many as 
possible informations to set up git in a viable way and, hopefully, to 
learn something on how it does work?
I refrained from commenting on that patch until now, but alas, you force 
me to.

I was pretty unimpressed by the additions, as they seemed large in volume, 
but small in content.

Remember, those who read "git for CVS users" are _unwilling_ to spend the 
time reading git documentation (at least for the most part).  If they 
encounter something which is not useful to them, they will not just ignore 
it, they will stop reading.

Ciao,
Dscho
