Thanks, I'd agree it definitely needed more information. Probably still does...
Here's what I added though.

    * --list list_file Gitso will look to this external list, can be local or via
HTTP for the hosts lists. Ex: You could add a list to your web server so every 
time
the user connected with this option, they would get an up-to-date support list 
from
your server.
          o list_file Should be something like
http://www.myserver.com/path/to/support_ips.txt
          o support_ips.txt Should be a comma separated list of IP's. These will then
show up in the menu of support IP addresses in Gitso. 

Cheers,

Aaron
