Thanks for doing this.  Generally looks excellent.

??? "spaced" ???

These need a target directory name to create, like this:

    git clone rsync://rsync.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git/ $new_dir
    git clone http://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git/ $new_dir

Please drop the e-mail address here; you mention nobody else's.

Well, dropping "the current maintainer" information altogether
might be even better; the above to a casual reader sounds like
Linus was frustrated and I wrote it for him, which is definitely
not what we would like to say.  I suspect it still has more code
by Linus than anybody else (I stopped counting some time ago).
