I actually would want ourselves step back a bit and make sure that anybody
who is completely new to git won't get confused with the concepts after
s/he reads our "Git User's Manual" and nothing else.  Listing five or six
documents and "you'll find information somewhere among these" *might* be
the best thing we could do at this very second, but we should strive to do
better than that.
