I think maybe a quick demonstration of what the package does might
help DDs to start using it (and hence to need the package).  As far as
I can tell, the package:

 - uses bash as its interface, so would not be as useful for zsh
   addicts but should be useful for bash users :)
 - sets up some aliases so you can use "checkout" or even "c" to
   mean "git checkout"
 - sets up a nice prompt and applies git's tab completion rules to
   those aliases

Do I understand correctly?  It might also be nice to clarify the
package description to explain this sort of thing.

I'm cc-ing the ITP bug so others wanting to help out can see this,
too.  (Hopefully that's okay.)

Thanks and good luck,
Jonathan
