I think http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started/Sources/Amarok_Git_Tutorial
provides a better base, since its gitorious-specific and is based on
real world use cases.

If you note the todo at the bottom, its missing comprehensive
documentation for feature branches and history manipulation (each
should have their own page imo). More advanced subjects but they do
come up not so infrequently. Here's some docs I wrote about remote
branches but hadn't published to techbase since I hadn't followed the
directions myself for real:
http://lists.kde.org/?l=amarok-devel&m=124946229716225&w=2

When we actually approach KDE in general using git, we can do a
find/replace and change 'amarok' into 'kde'. :) But I think keeping
the docs amarok-specific makes sense for now, keeps it all less
theoretical.
