Hi Paul,

I had a similar problem yesterday and was pointed at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelGitGuide?highlight=%28CategoryKernel%29
as a starting point.

I was thinking it would be really nice if someone fancied writing a
git guide for dummies (like me) who only use git on and off. Something
that could be put either on git.kernel.org or a similar place.

Things like how to do basic checkouts, how to revert back to a certain
snapshot or a certain commit id, how to use git-bisect to track
breakage and other basic stuff.

Anyone looking for a pet project who fancies writing up something like
this? I can say for sure that it will be appreciated.

Cheers,
Jes
