As for git versus other repositories I’ve used, I can only compare it to Subversion and CVS. Subversion was far and away better than CVS, which is why it exists, but Git, with its incredibly cheap branches and change management features, really does appeal to me. One thing I’ve learned using GIT is that I really do need a graphic manager to monitor the branches for me, and I do need to be careful switching branches out from under emacs. Otherwise, I would get lost.

Elf, have you had a chance to look at “Pragmatic Version Control Using Git”? If so, how did it compare to Pro Git and Version Control with Git, in your opinion?

How does Git compare to other version control systems you have used?
