I am torn. On one side I like the Wiki approach. On the other

Wiki will get less review by git oldtimers, whereas the patches to
user-manual are usually reviewed as thoroughly as the code patches.
No offense, but review by old timers can be both a blessing and a
curse.
Well, it's not the "review" that is so much a problem as the
"editorial
control." In my opinion (and I believe this is what the original
poster
was saying), the official Git User Manual focuses more on technical
issues and less on introducing git to a new user.
But it's not an "intro", it's a user manual. That means it's supposed
to be a comprehensive, in-depth treatment of just about everything.
The technical content is a good thing; it's supposed to be the
document you turn to when you want to move beyond superficial use to
genuine, in-depth understanding.
There are other documents with the goal of "introducing git to the
new user", grouped together here:
<http://git.or.cz/course/index.html>
And also under the "Documentation" heading on the Git home page:
<http://git.or.cz/>
Those are probably the articles that should be worked on and
augmented if you care about introducing things to a newbie.
Cheers,
Wincent
