Hi Ralf,

I posted some using-git tutorial-style notes to bug-gnulib:
  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.gnulib.bugs/11266/focus=11268
  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.gnulib.bugs/11269

A couple good tutorials:
  http://michael-prokop.at/blog/2007/12/03/git-svn-in-30-minutes/
  http://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/~blynn/gitmagic/

Finally, here's a still-early draft of coreutils contribution/style
guidelines.  Some of that deals with git.  Plenty of room for
improvement, I'm sure:
