Actually, I think it's a three-way split:

* those using lily-git (not lilypond-git, that's the name of the directory)
    This option requires no knowledge of git at all -- just use the 3
    buttons
* those using git gui
* those using git command-line

But I think that both those using git gui and git command-line need to
understand what is going on with git.  So we may want to integrate the two
somehow.

Is there an option in git gui to use git-cl from the gui?  I haven't been
aware of it, but I only took a quick look at the gui and went back to
command line.

Thanks,
