#2Nice. One very strange observation - the first time I glanced at it (I clicked the story, looked at the page, changed tabs to Google reader, clicked 'comment', and reopened your tab) I completely missed the RSS logo on the right.
I was thinking of something humorous to say like "You aren't going to miss that icon!", then I thought, shit, I did!
Otherwise, looks great!

Sorry, its late, I just realized I may as well have put in some lorem ipsum then.
The reason I missed it is because the shape didn't form as I immediately focused on the text on the left.

#4I'll be honest. I don't like their site (http://git-scm.com/) at all.
There is a lot of good information on that page, but it just feels too busy. I think github is a far better trial of git than setting up git on your local machine (via the download link.)
I think its important to stress why git is /better/ than the alternatives.
The quickstart stuff is really cool. But does it need to be on the homepage? Couldn't there be a slightly more detailed (but simple) Quick Start page?

Git deals in (source) trees and as a project their goal appears to be gobbling every tree in sight.
