Hey everyone,

I just shipped a big update to the git-scm.com website, incorporating
tons of feedback I've gotten on the site, especially from new users,
over the years.  I think it will help new users to Git find the right
installer and get up and running easier.  I have other ideas of things
to add to it in the future, but I think this is much better than the
site that has served us well for a few years now.

Some other interesting things to note:

* There is now permanent man page hosting here, for example:
http://git-scm.com/docs/git-fsck.  You can also reference any older
version of any command: http://git-scm.com/docs/git-fsck/1.5.5

Great!

* We designed a new logo[1] - there are multiple variations available
for download on the site under the most permissive CC license for any
use.

I prefer the old one.

* The Pro Git book (and all of it's translations) has been directly
incorporated into the site and has better permalinks and section
anchors.  progit.org will soon be redirecting to git-scm.com.

It's good to have it integrated but on the other hand I don't like the
boxes on the left side of each page about the book.
It just looks to me like an (annoying) ad.

* Matthew McCullough has started a video series[2] for newbies and
will continue to do more developer and intermediate type videos as
well.

Nice.

* There are still a few asciidoc parsing issues that we're working on
- if you find anything that's weird please report it at our issue
tracker: https://github.com/github/gitscm-next/issues

Let me know if you run into anything or there are any features you
would like to see.

I would like the page about the git authors to be back.

Thanks,
Christian.
