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.
