Hey, David.  Just for clarification, the above seems a little
inconsistent with the documentation included with the script, which
implies that the "most common commands", which are I believe meant to be
the only ones that the user should routinely have to use, are "commit",
"push", and "pull".  I got the impression that "checkout" and "merge"
should only be needed if you're trying to recover a broken system.

Isn't much of nmbug "convenience wrappers around git commands"?  It
seems to me that the fact that nmbug is using git underneath should be
almost completely abstracted away from the user.
