Fair enough. My main point was simply that summarising the discussion as
"It's much eaiser to try to get your changes merged into a project that
uses git." isn't useful nor accurate.

Both "sides" have made arguments, voiced opinions, etc. No consensus has
been reached.

To get working, yes. To be an expert, no.

bzr lp-login
(bzr init-repo)
bzr branch
(bzr add)
bzr commit
bzr push

..are sufficient to just get started.

If you can explain what sort of stuff you've had a hard time finding, I
can probably whip up something that will be helpful to others.
