-There are four types of branches in the QtWebKit Git repository:
+There are six types of branches in the QtWebKit Git repository:
 
- * qtwebkit: This is the main development branch. Currently only Lars and Simon can update this branch. If you feel comfortable enough with Git we can add you.
+ * svn/master: This is the main development line, mirrored straight from SVN trunk. We do our development in trunk.
+ * qtwebkit-4.5: This branch, based on trunk, contains what we're going to ship with Qt 4.5. No direct development happens in this branch, we only merge from trunk or branches that are scheduled for inclusion into trunk.
  * shared/* : Everybody can create/delete/change branches that start with "shared/".
  * <username>/* : This is where developers publish their changes. You can have as many so-called topic branches as you like. For example holger/crash-fix would be a name for such a topic branch.
  * svn/* such as svn/master or svn/Safari-3-branch. The branches prefixed with svn/ are read-only
    and are mirrored from the WebKit Subversion repository.
+ * qtwebkit: This is the old development branch that contains what is shipped with Qt 4.4.

 All you have to do is to adjust your {{{origin}}}. Edit the {{{.git/config}}} file and look for the {{{[remote "origin"]}}} section. Change the the {{{url = ...}}} line to read {{{url = git+ssh://git@code.staikos.net/srv/git/webkit}}}
