the point was that I didn't yet know about checkout -- with clone i got a clone 
of the sources, but not of the git as I was using it before, I mean with clone 
I didn't get the web/site and web/de and so on directories. With cogito it 
worked immedeately. but guess the new commands will do their jobs.

Yes, with "Name" I meant the message you give while commiting, that's how I 
understand now the naming principle while making patches.

No, you are quite right, Han-Wen's point was also that the translator anyway 
would understand English. It was just that I didn't understand the README...
