What does it mean to run Git on Android? What features do I need to
have Git in my smart phone or tablet? Note these might be very
different... I could edit files and browse history on my Android
tablet, but I can't see myself doing that on my cell phone. On the
other hand, it might be useful to carry around a copy of some
repositories. A "git aware" USB stick if you will.
