It is providing some information for git, but also on github. (It was started by the github founder iirc) Improvements by your own or just filling an issue, would be best at https://github.com/github/gitscm-next > 2) Wondering whether TortoiseGit is mentioned anywhere, I typed > tortoisegit into the top right search box, hit enter and got to > http://git-scm.com/search/results?search=tor (note the ending - I did > type the whole word but it got cut off!).

I'd assume the "me" is https://github.com/schacon the founder of github. The README may be outdated there. This is the mailing list for the git project, which is run by different people than the github company. > > 4) When I found this email address and sent a mail with items 1)-3), I > got a rejection reply saying " The message contains HTML subpart". > Very annoying.

On this mailing list html is not appreciated as you wouldn't gain much from it with respect to the development or discussion of git, only larger emails. Thanks for writing to the list, but it may be not the best place for reporting git-scm.com issues. Thanks, Stefan
