[phoenix-dev] Git for the non-developer

Folks,

As you know, soon our website repositories in CVS will be migrated to Git.  Some of our content has already been migrated.

I've authored a document on the Wiki to help us all get started with Git.  The document covers everything from installing EGit from a vanilla Eclipse Indigo installation, including installing the PDT (PHP) tools, to checking out a Git repository, making a change, committing it and pushing it to git.eclipse.org for publishing to the web site.

http://wiki.eclipse.org/Phoenix/Git_for_Phoenix_committers

We've decided that the best approach for our web content is to isolate each top-level directory (www.eclipse.org/top-level) to one git repository.  In other words:
- eclipse.org/downloads   -> downloads.git
- eclipse.org/org   -> org.git
- eclipse.org/legal  -> legal.git

Please take a quick moment to look at it.  In order to keep things simple, I've omitted topics such as branching, merging and rebasing since those actions don't typically apply to our web content use-case.  As it is a wiki page, feel free to improve it!
