Think "changed templates". And also think "setup a remote repository", 
especially "setup a remote HTTP repository". No, clone will not work if 
you are sitting behind a firewall and/or DSL router (and who does not?).

And also think "start a new repository with only a _part_ of the current 
files". There are plenty reasons -- in addition to separation of concepts 
-- not to commit straight after initializing a repository.

I don't know, but I had the impression we'd tell them "resolve your 
conflicts, and then do git-commit -a". Which is good enough.
