If possible, I'd like you to handle it.  The two new doc
contributors could take a stab at it, but they're currently busy
with other tasks.

lily-git shouldn't be hard to figure out -- if it *is*, then we
have more problems than just lacking docs for it.  It should only
take an hour: spend 15-30 minutes playing with lily-git.tcl, then
30 minutes writing a bit about it.  Something like 1 paragraph, an
itemized list with 2-4 sentences per button on the GUI should be
fine.

WTM does this mean?  I think that should be a TODO, not a FIXME.

Those are probably either obsolete after adding lily-git, or are
not necessary before 2.14.


In general, I think that everything other than lily-git.tcl should
be a TODO instead of a FIXME.  In case you missed it, I'm started
to enforce the definitions in the CG doc chapter: FIXME means that
it must be fixed before the next stable release; TODO is for
anything else.  I don't see CG 2 as being critical for a stable
release.  There's lots that must be done before we start
recruiting new contributors GOP, but that's a separate issue.
