Update tutorial for simplified "git" script.
Use "git commit" instead of "git-commit-script", and talk about using "git log" before introducing the more complex "git-whatchanged". In short, try to make it feel a bit more normal to those poor souls using CVS. Do some whitspace edits too, to make the side notes stand out a bit more.
