This hasn't been true in the past, remember the merge of git-update-index and git-add commands into git-add. As for Git concepts, you're right that they don't change much, but see my next comment. > I think that the most effective way to provide this help is with a small > customized tutorial (including all of the downstream maintenance). I'm still not convinced. From what I remember of Git documentation (including gentle introduction material), I had the feeling that it always supposed, implicitly or explicitly, that the reader was quickly comfortable with mathematical concepts (like a revision history as a directed acyclic graph), which may not be true for a non-mathematically minded reader. That said, I *can't* be sure that the difficulty really comes from this, and generally I can't guess well what is difficult to understand for non-computer-scientists or non-mathematicians, as my recent experience about teaching computer programming to a math PhD mate litterally from scratch. Anyway, in case this kind of issue is relevant for new Git users that work with Lily sources, I'm sure that it would be equally well addressed in a generic Git documentation, but with the added benefit of a greater audience. Best, John
