'gittutorial(7)' translation

[MR]

Hi!

I'm willing to translate publication located at 
http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/gittutorial.html to the 
Belorussian language (my mother tongue). What I'm asking for is your 
written permission, so you don't mind after I'll post the translation to 
my blog. The translation is intended only for web, no print copies planned.
Visitors of your website, who come from Minsk (Belorussia) will be the 
ones, who will read this blogpost, that's the only way to spread them, 
no additional instruments we can use. Every translation we ever do does 
not costs a penny for the webpage, which is translated. All we ask is to 
link back in whatever way you feel confident about it.

Thank you for the article.
You can leave a voice message and I will call you back, if you prefer a 
call instead of emails.

Sincerely,
Bohdan Zograf
+(360) 488-0303

Git, including its documentation, is a freely licensed project under
the GNU General Public License version 2. You do not need written
permission to translate gittutorial, and it would be great if you did
so.

(CC-ing the Git mailing list)

It's great that you've translated it, I'm not sure where this should
be linked from in Git's documentation, if at all.

I'm currently working no getting i18n support for Git's core commands
up and running, after that I wanted to try getting support for
http://po4a.alioth.debian.org/ going.

That we way could translate any of our documentation and ship it as
part of Git itself, so you could have a Russian gittutorial manpage
installed along with Git.

Sorry about that. I just glanced at the E-Mail and the translation
itself looked similar to Russian to my untrained eyes.

I stand corrected.
