Hi Paul,
I had a similar problem yesterday and was pointed at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelGitGuide?highlight=%28CategoryKernel%29 as a starting point.
I was thinking it would be really nice if someone fancied writing a git guide for dummies (like me) who only use git on and off. Something that could be put either on git.kernel.org or a similar place.
Things like how to do basic checkouts, how to revert back to a certain snapshot or a certain commit id, how to use git-bisect to track breakage and other basic stuff.
Anyone looking for a pet project who fancies writing up something like this? I can say for sure that it will be appreciated.
