New contributors really just don't care which DVCS they are using, as long as they don't need to spend hours figuring out on their own how to use it properly. What would be extremely useful is documentation of a GNOME workflow for first-time patch developers, i.e. how to:1. Fetch a copy of the source from the GNOME repo2. Make a branch for new changes3. Make & commit changes to branch4. Generate a patch and upload it to bugzilla5. Make further changes based on feedback, generate a new patch, upload to bugzilla6. Track upstream changes and merge/rebase local changes on top of that, and then if there were merge conflicts, generate a new patch, upload to bugzilla7. Delete a branch (for if/when the patch is committed)This documentation really needs to have only the exact information that a new developer needs.
