Hm, but, come to think of it, I agree with you that the "how to commit
and push" really should come earlier, since that's the stuff most people
need to know; currently the order is roughly:

	importing a cvs archive
	creating a shared repository
	committing to a shared repository

We should start out with the assumption that a shared repo is already
set up and make it:

	committing to a shared repository
	creating a shared repository
	importing a cvs archive

which puts it in stuff-most-people-need-to-know to
stuff-less-people-need-to-know order.  Maybe the current introduction
should even be postponed to later.

And some day we should move that whole final CVS annotate section
elsewhere.
