[Devel] Git training missions

[Mark Freeman]

Thanks Wil and Asheesh. I believe this will work perfectly.  Like the
SVN mission, I plan to do the actual commits with the server side
process and just let them pull the updates.

Wil, I hope to get that up and going in the next couple of days. I'll
ping you on IRC if I get stuck. Thanks!
