So, since I'm near the beginning of this process, I was wondering if
the group had any feedback as to what might be super helpful to
include.  I mean, I have a pretty good layout and all, but if you
wanted to point me to some threads that tend to crop up in the mailing
list and IRC channel from relative newcomers that I might be able to
nip in the bud, I would like to.  I'm addressing the stuff that _I_
hear a lot, and I'm scanning the IRC logs and list for topics, but I
figured many of you must answer the same questions all the time, too.

I agree with pretty much all of the other suggestions made thus far.
One I'd vote for is to explain why pushing to a non-bare repository
doesn't magically update the working tree as well; I'd say it's easily
one of the most repeated questions on #git.

I also vote for addressing workflows heavily.  Also, I think a reference
section akin to Tv's 'Git for Computer Scientists' page[1] would be
handy; I find understanding how git represents the project to inform
almost every interesting question about how to accomplish one's goals in
a particular situation.
