(if this doesn't belong at the root of tde-packaging, feel free to move it to
opensuse/ for reference.)

To get a copy of the repo:
	git clone <repository URL>

To exclude items:
	Create a file '.gitignore'

To add to the git repository (easiest and most efficient way):
	git add .
(this will add everything in the folder (excluding stuff from .gitignore).)

To commit to the git repository (this does not send to the remote server!):
	git commit -a
(no need to do any git mv or git rm or any of that with the -a option.)

To pull recent commits from the remote git repository:
	git pull
(do this before pushing so that you don't collide with other's commits.)

To push to the remote git repository:
	git push origin master
(the 'origin master' part is optional after the first time.)

To branch (be careful! This is different from SVN.):
	git branch <name>
(don't know what branch you're on? run "git branch" to see and list.)

To switch branches:
	git checkout <branch name>

To tag a commit (like for releasing a tarball):
	git tag -a <version> -m <message>
(ps: this will make webgit generate a tarball with this tag.
easy releases anyone?)

To tag a commit WITH GPG verification (secure release anyone?):
	git tag -s <version> -m <message>
