git is a big hurdle for a lot of contributors.

I was wondering how we might help get users on the
right track here with throwing the git book at them.

Any thoughts?

I was thinking about committing some scripts to the master
branch to support the basic occasional contributors workflow.

How about adding a "contribute" script which did the following:

- fetch from origin
- commit changes from user, bringing up a text editor with
a template commit message.
- rebase origin to the master branch, abort if there are conflicts
- create patches and git send-email them to the list

?
