If what we're going to do is a "git user's manual", I'd recommend
keeping the 2-3 pages in the manual, and do it via a link to some
other document.  One of the issues with the git documentation is that
it's *too* branchy, and some the branches go off to some truly scary
low-level implementation detail.  If we are going to assume that isn't
going to change (and I am glad that the low-level details are
documented, and am not advocating that they be deleted), then keeping
a user-friendly QuickStart in the main document might not be a bad
decision.
