[was there supposed to be a 2) etc?]

1) It would have helped if you had said that to begin with: I was left
   wondering what "that" documentation was. And the comparison with the
   micro-emacs doc was entirely impenetrable to me. Can you provide a
   pointer to that doc? Daniel Lawrence's site seems to be gone.

2) For git, Pieter provided some appropriate links. I'll take the
   opportunity to recommend Scott Chacon's book (http://progit.org/book).

3) For future reference, here are pointers to a couple of useful
   documents on how to ask questions and how to submit bug reports:

     http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
     http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html

   The first is linked from the main orgmode page (http://orgmode.org);
   the second is linked from the "How to contribute" page on Worg
   (http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contribute.html). I recommend both of
   these to everybody.

Nick
