You should just add a sentence saying that the command is git clone git://server:port/path/ 2) Maybe it is better to highlight that after a push on a remote repository, the user has to do a checkout on that repository (people from the CVS and SVN worlds get easily confused, otherwise). Moreover (and I did not fully understood why) if I just use "git checkout" without the -f option, I cannot see the changes that have been pushed from the cloned repository. Regards, Claudio
