I partially agree with that, but then again - 99% of module writers
are probably clever enough to be able to apply two or three documented
commands to get the module working on the garden. Also keep in mind
that authors of most modules on the garden (Aditya, Wolfgang, also
Taco) already have their own version controll and just need to go
through the painful process of uploading their modules to the garden
in a proper way, even though the modules are already public on github
or somewhere else.

(I don't know how to use all the functionality that git offers, but
"git add, git commit, git pull, git push and maybe git diff" do enough
to cover all the basic needs. We don't need to ask users to know how
to branch, rebase etc. if they don't want to.)

In any case - we would still need some page with module information
even if we switch to some version-controlled system.
