I think between you and Bruno you've described the basics well enough.
There's no point in waiting for me to try it, since I will never try it
until I am forced to.

I would like the README to have the most basic commands to get the work
done.  You sent me these before:

    Run this to create a checked-out directory named "any-name-you-want":
      cg-clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/coreutils any-name-you-want

    or omit the destination dir-name to create a directory named "coreutils":
      cg-clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/coreutils

    how to update
      cg-pull

    how to commit [into your local copy of the repository]
      cg-commit

That by itself seems like enough to accomplish useful work.
If they are still correct, can we put those in the README?

Of course, if you can run the cvs clone stuff you mentioned, so I can
keep using cvs commands and be blissfully ignorant, that works too :).

    jim> prepare patches properly (which means explaining the basics of
    git topic branches

Egad.

    bruno> Here is a possible patch to http://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/ .

Please install the changes on the web page whenever it's appropriate.
(Not that you needed me to tell you that. :)

Thanks,
