Strangely, I can't check it out over HTTP:

% git clone http://repo.or.cz/w/anything-config.git
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/tzz/source/anything-config/.git/
warning: remote HEAD refers to nonexistent ref, unable to checkout.

(and nice warning, the checkout fails completely!)

but it works with the git://repo.or.cz/anything-config.git URL.

I think the revision history should be cut out of anything.el.

It's pretty hard for a novice to get started customizing the sources.
There is almost no Customize support AFAICT for anything-sources.  The
existing anything.el docs assume good knowledge of Emacs Lisp.  I don't
know if that is a problem, but a real manual would be very helpful for
beginners.

What sources should be on by default for Emacs users of anything.el?

I'm sure there are a lot of style and behavior issues I'm missing.  I'm
so used to anything.el that I'm probably not a good test case of how it
looks to an Emacs user.
