Hm... I've paged through the document looking for "git", and while I
found (and removed) another remnant of the subversion days, I didn't
find text I could immediately improve in terms of making clear what's
"just git" and what is "github specials".  But then I found the
github policies ought to mentioned in the abstract, which lead up to
<https://github.com/ivoa-std/ivoatexDoc/pull/17>.

If you think that doesn't do the trick: Where would you see the
greatest need?

Thanks,
