Sounds good. I've never liked that "wall of text" in CG 1.2. How
about you rename the existing section to something like
"Introduction to open-source development" or "Introduction to
git", then add a new section that's the kind of overview you
suggested.
NB: this type of change is minimally invasive, has a well-defined
scope, and can be done in an hour without requiring lots of
discussion on -devel. By contrast, based on historical evidence,
any discussion about reorganizing any document is likely to
involve at least 5 hours of emails and has over a 50% chance of
somebody's feelings getting hurt.
