The "Everyday GIT With 20 Commands Or So" document was quite helpful too, especially the section "Individual Developer (Participant)". But they don't quite cover my workflow yet. > The tutorials > on the GIT site are quite good too. You must read them entirely and > proceed with the examples as you read them.

My questions concern practical things like when to make a new branch, how to resubmit a patch following post-commit changes, what to do when "git format-patch" doesn't produce the desired result or when "git pull" obstinately declares "Already up-to-date" even though I know that isn't true, how to track a patch after submission to LKML to see when or whether it appears in the main tree, or how to scrub the history to stop "git log origin..HEAD" from listing (and "git format-patch" from formatting) long-merged changes as new. Well, I'll take that up on the git@vger.kernel.org list then, as proposed by J. Bruce Fields, in order not to annoy LKML readers any longer. > Anyway, don't get demotivated about the tool or the workflow.

What I'm trying to do can't be that different from what all those happy git users are doing. I guess if I could just watch an experienced git user at work for a day most of my problems would vanish.
