Yes, and they're all linked from http://geda.seul.org/wiki/geda:scm. I'd
also like to point out that git has *excellent* man pages.

The way I usually do things is to run `git status' and `git diff' to see
what changes I've made.  I then use `git add <filename>' to add my changes
to the index.  I then run `git commit' to make a commit.  Then I can use
`git format-patch' and/or `git send-email' to create patchfiles from my
changes. `gitk' is a very useful tool for visualising changes.

well, I used to do all that, but then I discovered stgit. ;)

Cheers,

Peter
