More Git stuff

I finally figured out how to set up a tracking branch properly with Git to use my Git project pages.

It looks obvious in retrospect: do the usual git-clone for the repository, then "git checkout --track gh-pages". This sets up a tracking branch locally for the gh-pages branch on the server, and links the two together properly. Using a regular "-b" checkout won't quite work -- you get the files, but you can't push them back to the server.
