In the currently (2011-12-05) downloadable PDF at http://progit.org/book/, the chapter numbers are off by one.

It appears that in the PDF there's a spurious "Introduction" section that's not in the printed or html version of the book.

That brief (one line) Introduction section gets numbered Chapter 1, and all subsequent chapters are numbered one more than they should be. So what is "Chapter 1 Getting Started" in the print and html versions is Chapter 2 Getting Started" in the PDF.

That PDF's TOC is coordinated correctly with this different numbering, but many references within the text (such as "see more on this topic in Chapter 3") are not .
