Great that you work on this, but I don't quite get the approach, nor 
some of your examples (which seems buggy).

I feel that:

a) We don't need another git tutorial - there's a lot of really good 
ones out there, even ones explaining git from the perspective of a 
current SVN user.

b) We need a document explaining how patches are reviewed and referred 
to, what commit rules (and hooks) are in place and how this would work 
in a git world. It would be short and sweet.
