I haven't used GIT in a while either, but it seems like that's the way things are going these days with kernel development, so we might as well take the plunge. There's pointers to some of the basic docs at http://git.kernel.org/. kernel.org definitely seems like the most appropriate place to host the tree. Information about getting an account on kernel.org is at http://www.kernel.org/faq/#account. I'll be playing around with GIT and the Perfmon2 patches, and I'll let you know if I come across any other good docs or tips.
