+Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
+unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
+and full access to internals.
+
+Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License.
+It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of
+hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano.
+
+Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
+See Documentation/tutorial.txt to get started, then see
+Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands,
+and "man git-commandname" for documentation of each command.
+CVS users may also want to read Documentation/cvs-migration.txt.
+
+Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git.or.cz/
+including full documentation and Git related tools.
+
+The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git
+mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature
+requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org. To subscribe
+to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to
+majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at
+http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git and other archival sites.
+
+The messages titled "A note from the maintainer", "What's in
+git.git (stable)" and "What's cooking in git.git (topics)" and
+the discussion following them on the mailing list give a good
+reference for project status, development direction and
+remaining tasks.
