Since this is open-source, and you think the documentation is poor, why don't you fix it?

Good job falling back on the old "Well why don't you just fix it yourself then, smarty man" argument. Congratulations, you are an example of the hostile community we're talking about.

and he gave us git

2. OK

3. If they allow it you'll get people here posting "Windows is so dumb, it let me copy an mp3 to my phone that it couldn't play!"
