If we try to compare ourselves to what's closest, i.e. Mercurial, I would
say that Git's documentation is probably on par with what Mercurial has to
offer. Their "Documentation" entry in the comparison is as follows:

"Very good. There's an overview and tutorial on the web site, and integrated
help for every command."

I say we go for something similar.


Have fun!
