Just in case you want to have a look. Thanks, there are certainly some things in that document that I ought to consider incorporating in the guide. But for now I'll let it rest for a little while, because I don't have time to mess with it. Patches are always welcome ;) > One of the things you said in your guide is that Git is easy to > learn.

Well, you are right to some extent. But it's this gap I would like to fill with the nutshell guide. The "for normal people" slogan is meant to refer to non-technical developers (like scientists). I should probably include a little section in the intro describing distributed vs. centralised SCMs in general. Thanks for the input, .jonas.
