We have a "git quick start" here:

	http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/user-manual.html#git-quick-start

and there's one on the wiki:

	http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/QuickStart

I think the one in the manual tries to follow the organization of the
manual more closely.

I haven't tried to compare those two recently, or to compare yours to
either of them.  If you could compare and suggest any improvements,
that'd be helpful.

I like your name better ("quick reference" as opposed to "quick start").

Having it as a man page may be a good idea too.  I'd like to keep a copy
in the manual as well, though, so we'd have to include from some common
file.
