cloning a repository from somewhere else, isn't even covered until Chapter 12, because understanding what cloning really means requires so much background
That's... that's... just... what?
Cloning is part of the brutally simple (and amazingly flexible) guts of git. Given Linus's hatred of C++ I think what git has become is deliciously ironic, but the basics could not be easier to understand.
Do you know if it has any sort of mechanism for holding submits until approved? We're currently using Subversion and the general consensus on that one is giving everyone their own dev branch, then having the overseer handle merging, which is tolerable for some small number of developers.
