Maybe these would be helpful, but it should be stressed in the manual
that people should not be working on their 'master' repository.  It is
always a good idea to have a repository that you push your changes to.
That way when you totally screw up, you only did it on your working
branch and not the main one.

I'm pretty sure this is mentioned on the wiki (and maybe in the manual)
already, but given that I can't find it right now should suggest that it
isn't written often enough and in large enough letters.  With blinking
text, if necessary.  And an under construction GIF.  Oh wait.
