Hey Shashi! :)

I just wanted to say thanks for going to the trouble of writing and
circulating this. Really helpful notes.

The variety of newish version control systems around lately is pretty
confusing; I'm forever typing svn commands in a Git directory, or git
commands in a Mercurial repo, so I really appreciate such a detailed
walkthrough of the Git approach, as well as your thoughts on what will
make for a more social / collaborative approach to coding on this
project.

Thanks!

Dan
