Re: [DRAFT 2] Branching and merging with git

you might want to look at the QuickStart page in Git's wiki...

	  	1. clone
		2. checking out old versions, basic branch management
		3. keeping up-to-date with fetch
		4. bisect
		5. archaeology (commits DAG, git-log, ...)
		6. creating commits, index file
		7. resolving merges, pull
		8. publishing a public repository, push

Another approach would be to illustrate short stories of a failed merge, 
or "how I put up a public repository", etc. Like, more example-based (and 
of course short enough that people actually read through it).
