Git instructions make people feel sick, well known fact.
Most git instructions don't include lines like: git push ssh://<username>@gerrit.wikimedia.org:29418/operations/puppet HEAD:refs/for/test
This looks screwed up too: git config --global user.name "<wiki-username>"
Last I checked user.name was intended to be a realname not some name linking. My user.name is set to "Daniel Friesen" and there's no way in hell I'm changing it to "Dantman" which I DO expect to be my username on labs and whatnot. There is likewise no way in hell I'm going to use `ssh://Daniel%20Friesen@gerrit.wikimedia.org`.
In fact this seams to be at odds with our own git migration notes. There seams to be notes on taking the USERINFO from svn usernames and converting them in the git conversion to realname and e-mail.
