The language is very plain, you just have to skip to the sections which list the claimed infringements. One is for assigning unique identifiers to files (UUIDs, such as SHA1 sums in case of git), and another is about addressing files using those IDs. Basically they're attacking essential elements of git itself but because github is a company they sue them instead hoping to extract money.

There are more infringements but they all seem pretty trivial and variations of each other. They're related to data duplication and access permissions.
