Just had to make a submission to have an excuse to try git for the first
time.  So far I'm really liking all those commands you can do without having
to contact the server.

Perhaps an additional set of tips for us first timers trying to simulate cvs
operations.  It may save you a few minutes of searching.

- "git pull" is like "cvs update".
- The two step operation of "git commit -a" followed by "git push" is
similar to "cvs commit".
- Seems the standard protocol for commit messages is:

[ one line summary of change ]
[ empty line ]
[ multi-line description of change if required. ]

And a few possible issue that I'm sure your aware of Julien.

- I didn't receive a commit email.  Could be mail server not sending to
sender.
- I went to sane-commit archive on web page to see if it was sent.  The
archive is shown as empty.
- Sane webpage still points to cvs on download page.
