Your call as the author, but please reconsider this one. I've found it
*hugely* convenient over the years to have these task oriented answers
in the FAQ. The problem with the answers all over the internet is that
I (or someone new to our source control tool) may not know enough to
ask the right question, and hence those answers may as well not exist.
Even if these FAQ answers don't always provide everything needed, they
usually provide enough information to let me search for the full
answers.

Cheers,
Nick.
