What does a workflow "include"? What are components included in a workflow? Are "starting a repository", "working on a single thing", "collabolating", etc. components that are incuded in a workflow? If so, the fact that "clone", "init", etc. are "commands that are commonly used in each component of the workflow" is a more important thing to say; in other words, the header does not explain what list it is presenting the user. Or does a workflow consists of "clone", "init", "add", "mv", etc. that are included in it? Then it is left unexplained what the section headings stand for. Perhaps something like These are common Git commands used in various situations: may lessen the uneasiness I felt above. I dunno. Other than that, this round looks ready for 'next'. I am not absolutely sure if new dependency on "awk" will not present portability issues, though. So far we only used it in scripts in the fringes and only a few tests.
