Of course, I would be fine if this list here would be simply defined as the "git development centric list" and a new, more usage-centric list could be started (git-users ?). I wouldn't consider myself a complete newbie (given my DVCS knowledge I already have from my involvement in the Mercurial and TortoiseHg projects -- I contributed code to both of them). I was just interested in using git, not (yet) developing. This includes also advanced uses and problems advanced users may have with git (helping me to get a better understanding of git).
