I use Tortoise git - it isn't bomb proof, but then neither is mysysgit. Cygwin git is pretty good, but of course is only command line. I'm used to that, way back that was all we had for CVS too. I would back up Olaf's observations. I had a clone get stuck the other day with a bad update, the only way out was to delete it and start over. Which isn't as bad as it sounds, because git is quite fast. I also use Tortoise SVN. Doesn't seem to offer any advantage over CVS. Indeed neither does git, except speed, but then it seems a bit flakey too. Vivian ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
