Oooo I did 4 years of COBOL programming and a further 6 years of Z80  
assembly professionally so that was enough for me.

But hey, for any would-be open source developer, the Git user manual  
is a must -  
http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/user-manual.html, its  
the future you know ;)

My bad for the typo. A google for "The Art of Programming" finds it
easily.. Anyone who wanted to read the work and couldn't find it
online is doomed from the outset! :)

I was going to say "You have my deepest sympathy" and then I
considered that I end up having to write COBOL and maintain 30 year
old assembler code and decided that you're in a better place than I.
