@graydon I'll agree with the latter point - a "how we use git here" guide is essential. I just remember trying to understand git in the late 2000s and how git terminology seemed to intentionally and unnecessarily differ from every other VCS. Docs were sparse and impenetrable and I wound up learning Mercurial instead because it was learnable. I hate that git is conflated with DVCS in general because it is such a niche tool that doesn't translate well outside its niche. We've had commit, branch, and merge forever - why a whole new vocabulary was needed is beyond me. But that's not surprising since I'm not a kernel developer.
