+It's magit!  Another Emacs mode for git.
+
+I wrote magit while learning about git and trying to figure out how I
+would be using git in a 'natural' way.  Magit will grow and hopefully
+become more coherent as I learn more about git and good ways to use
+it.  Feedback is welcome!
+
+* Installing
+
+Magit is in such an early stage that there is no support for
+automatically installing it.  To use magit without installing it, just
+load magit.el into Emacs, in whatever way is most convenient for you.
+
+For example, you could just add
+
+   (load ".../magit.el")
+
+to your ".emacs" file.  You can load it into your running Emacs with
+'M-x load-file'.
+
+* Getting started
+
+To get started with magit, open any file in a git repository in Emacs
+and run 'M-x magit-status'.  Read the online help of magit-mode ('C-h
+m' in the magit buffer), make some changes to your files, and try to
+commit them.
+
+* Learning more
+
+The Magit User Manual describes things with more words than the online
+help.  You can read it with 
+
+* Updates
+
+You can follow magit development by cloning
