So perhaps there could be a little section somewhere saying
something like:
Using Git and Gerrit effectively requires understanding
how they work. If you're used to "conventional" source
code repositories like svn, you'll find git to be
considerably different, in part because it's completely
distributed, without any central repository which you
"check files out of", much less that you "check files
in to". Instead, with git, you mumble flarg the bjango
in order to tnark your flittle and svetch it out to the
rest of the hortlespoon. For a good explanation of this,
see http://one.of.the/tons/of/good/tutorials/on/the/web.
(Obviously that's incomplete, but as someone who only understands
conventional repositories that you check files out of and in to,
I don't yet get git at all, myself, either.)
