Personally, I found git an unmitigated success... there are all kinds of
workflows it makes enormously smoother (accepting and reviewing
"patches", branching for long or short-term work, coordinating
multi-person contributions) that I think it has already amply repaid the
investment we had to make in it. Added to that is the fact it is simply
so much more RELIABLE than SVN which will corrupt working copies at the
drop of a hat. git is often faster to check out a complete repository
with full history than SVN is to do a simple update...
Even the famous "learning curve" for git was a lot smoother than it was
feared to be - certainly it operates a quite different model to SVN but
generally one which has a fathomable kind of internal logic - as well as
the command set being generally simpler to use, and offering much better
feedback in the case of bogus commands or operations which risk losing
data.
To be honest, I can't say anything against it :P I need to remember not
to type "git pull" when I am pulling in branches, and remember that
HEAD^1 and HEAD~1 were sadly defined to be the "illogical way round"...
just niggles.
Cheers,
Antranig.

A bit off topic but since Fluid made the change from Subversion to Git
I'm wondering if folks here can share their views on the switch to git
and their likes/dislikes. I'm going to be proposing that uPortal
consider moving to github and want some real perspectives first.
Thanks,
