Okay, I will work off of master from now on.

Hmm... I'll look into it. That may be more git than I'm ready to learn
right off the bat, so I'll start with just working off of the master
git repo. If I'm in it for the long haul, though, it's probably the
thing to do.

Actually, I'm just going on my experience with svn (I don't know how
git works), but wouldn't it be possible to simply give me write
permissions on the master git repository? Wouldn't that be a simpler
solution? Am I simply confused?

I have access to a server, so that's not an issue.
