Cool! I missed that! Thanks.

Yup. I started there and am happily coding, committing, branching &
merging away. Now man pages are closest to my fingers in the terminal. :-)
E.g. something I seem to succeed with sometimes, but not consistently is
the equivalent of "svn revert -R .". "git help reset"? Yup: "git reset
--hard HEAD ." When I run into merge conflicts, I'll probably look at
such a doc again, but other than that I'll probably use man pages most.
Just wanted to offer the newbie's opinion, that it would be helpful for
me with "Here be plumbing. Newbies look elsewhere" notices when I'm on
my way down the wrong track.
