git tutorial

Hi Guys-

I have a suggestion/request for the git documentation (tutorial),
currently accessible from:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/tutorial.html

It would be much easier to understand the "Using git for
collaboration" section if you put the username (bob or alice) as a
prefix to each of the example command prompts, as is common in most
linux distributions.  This would make it easier to see at a glance who
is doing what.

In other words, it would change from this:
$ git clone /home/alice/project myrepo
$ git pull /home/bob/myrepo master

to this:
bob$ git clone /home/alice/project myrepo
alice$ git pull /home/bob/myrepo master

In the tutorial's current form, I spent so much time looking back into
the paragraph text to find out who was typing each command that I
eventually printed it out so I could scribble their names on each one.

I hope this change isn't a big deal.

Thanks,
-Ian
