GIT tutorial

I was having a look at the git tutorial. The important tasks: 1/ download the code of the linux kernel from git:

>git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git linux-2.6

2/ pulling new code from git:

> git pull

3/ reverse code changes

> git checkout -f

4/ commiting the modifications:

> git commit -a

5/ undo last commits (note it is different from a revert which consists of a patch reverting some other patch)

> git reset HEAD~2

6/ list branches

> git branch

7/ create branch

> git checkout -b my-new-branch-name master

8/ choose a branch and make it the current one:

> git checkout branch

9/ Tell which branch is current

> git status

10/ merging code into a branch mybranch

> git checkout mybranch

> git merge anotherbranch
