Thanks for all the comments.  I just updated the KHGtG with the

- To know the current branch, "git branch" is enough (the one '*'-ed)

Click reload, this is already mentioned.


- rsync(1) a repository is dangerous, it might catch it in the middle of
  a update and give you an incomplete/messed up copy. Repeat rsync until no
  change, perhaps?

Usually that's just unlucky. I have caught kernel.org in the middle of a sync once, maybe twice.


- I understand "git checkout -f" blows away any local changes, no questions
  asked. Not very nice to suggest that to a newbie...

I constantly run into problems if I -do not- use the "-f" flag. I habitually use it at all times, now.

Thanks,
