A note about web URLs vs git URLs, and note the "stable-queue" repository
as an example.

+<p>Note that unlike Mercurial, the URLs git uses aren't the same ones you
+find repositories at on the web.  You have to translate them.  For example,
+the "stable-queue" repository at which bugfix-only patches for fourth level
+dot release of the linux kernel queue up before going in is on the web at
+<a href="http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git">http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git</a>.
+In this case, the corresponding git repository would be cloned with:</p>
+
+<blockquote>
+<pre>git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git
+</pre>
+</blockquote>
+
+<p>I.E. replace "http://git.kernel.org/?p=" with "git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/".</p>
