The great think about Git is that it shouldn't clobber anything and you 
should be able to checkout any previous tagged release.

Anyway, I'll write up more detailed instructions using forked repos.

Also, for your and Thorleif's reference, here are two great (and free) 
Git books:

https://github.com/pluralsight/git-internals-pdf/releases

and also http://git-scm.com/documentation

Git is definitely worth learning - not just for IXP Manager.
