is what we have so far. Let me know what's missing and I'll add it.

Ok, thanks. Some questions/confusion from someone who isn't a git- expert:

In "Maintainers", it's not clear that the directory you do "git remote ... ; git push fdo master" is your checked out xserver.git ... perhaps add:

git clone ssh://git.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/xserver
cd xserver

---

In "Maintainers", why are you doing "git pull master"? Should that be "git pull --rebase master"? I thought you should never, never, never use "git pull" ...

---

In "Scooping up patches," you do:

git push bond007 master

but in "Maintainers", you do:
git push fdo master

Where did "bond007" come from? Should that have been "fdo" to match the git remote above in "Maintainers"?

---

In "Scooping", Shouldn't we be using 'git fetch origin; git rebase origin/master' rather than 'git pull origin'?

Is 'git pull --rebase' the same thing as 'git fetch; git rebase _______'?

I guess I'm just confused about pull.

How can I get email sent for pushes to my personal git? (eg: I'd like to have mail sent to [email protected])

---

When I'm on my local branch, how do I make it so master pushes to my tree on anarchy? Assume I've done:

git clone ssh://git.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/xserver
cd xserver
git remote jeremyhu ssh://git.freedesktop.org/~jeremyhu/xserver.git
git push jeremyhu master
# edit some files
git commit -a
git push # will this send my local master to origin/master or jeremyhu/ master? How can I make it use jeremyhu/master if it's still origin/ master?
