-Once this is put onto MythTV servers, these details will change.
-
-For now, we will use the svn->git mirror:
+You will need to create a github account, and link your @mythtv.org email address to it (if a MythTV developer).  If you aren't a part of the development team, you can still create a github account and fork the repository into your account, giving pull requests later to get your changes incorporated.
 
 {{{
-git clone git://git.jannau.net/mythtv.complete/
+git clone git@github.com:MythTV/mythtv.git
 }}}

-For committing, use SVN (which you will have to checkout separately)
 
 === configuring git ===
 
+If this is the only git repo you are using:
+
 {{{
 git config --global user.name "Your Name"
-git config --global user.email you@yourdomain.example.com
+git config --global user.email you@mythtv.org
 }}}
 
-Please use your real name and a real email address.  This will be attached to each commit you make, and is needed for legality reasons (i.e. to clearly denote the contributors, which can be a life-saver if we have licensing issues later)
+If you do already have other repos going, you will be better off using (from the mythtv checked-out directory):
+
+{{{
+git config user.name "Your Name"
+git config user.email you@mythtv.org
+}}}
+
+Please use your real name and a real email address.  If you are on the MythTV development team, please use the assigned canonical @mythtv.org email address.  This will be attached to each commit you make, and is needed for legality reasons (i.e. to clearly denote the contributors, which can be a life-saver if we have licensing issues later)
