You should have commit access to the repo now.

I would need access to the documentation (manual) and to the QGIS
> webclient parts of the repository.

The manual is not yet ported to git - Otto and I discussed this and
agreed to wait until after they have release the 1.7 manual before
doing this. I will add any committers to the git repo at that point.
The web client is in its own repo (git philosophy being 1 project 1
repo so we dont have many things in 1 heirarchy like we had in svn).

Best regards

Tim
