Someplace to contribute: documentation

Someplace to contribute: documentation

[Stephen & Linda Smith]

I've been looking over the git source tree to see if there is some place where I can 
contribute.   It appears that there are some suggestions at the bottom of 
the userguide.  Does anyone have other places that they would like 
worked on first?  If not I will start with one of the suggestions.

I am looking at the documentation for shallow clones and it apears either that 
the name  has changed over time to shallow repositories or there needs 
to be a glossary entry and some cross references.     Are they two separate 
things?   If not, what is the sematic difference?
