There is a lot of good background and explanation of why and how Git is different from svn.
However, would it be possible to add a tangible example of updating a port to that page? I know a little bit about Subversion and less about Git. I would like to see a soup-to-nuts example of cloning the ports tree, updating a Portfile, maybe deleting an old patch and adding a new one, and getting the updated port into MacPorts (direct commit v. pull request). It would be helpful if one-time requirements (setting name and email address) were clearly separated from repetitive steps (pulling changes from master?). Otherwise, it is going to be a wee bit nerve-wracking the first few times... Also, is the consensus that a graphical user interface over git more likely to be harmful than helpful? The Tools section at the bottom of the page doesn’t give any kind of recommendation.
