Hi all, I've been playing with Git a bit lately.
http://git.or.cz/ There's a site, repo.or.cz, that provides free hosting for open source projects. Mostly it seems to be unofficial conversions from public CVS trees. I imported the JFFNMS release history, here: http://repo.or.cz/w/jffnms.git A Git tree provides a few of benefits: 1) It's distributed. You can clone the tree and work on your own changes, keeping your own history as you go. When a new upstream version is released, you can pull from the parent Git tree; Git supposedly handles merging much better than CVS. I haven't tried to merge with Git yet, but it couldn't be any worse than with CVS. :) 2) Because it's distributed, you can collaborate with others by pulling from each others' trees. 3) When you have something worth submitting back as a patch, Git makes life easier. Maintainers and submitters can merge from each others' trees. There is a "mob" branch that anyone can push changes to (http://repo.or.cz/mob.html) but it probably makes more sense to create your own tree if you have early changes you want to share with a few people. The jffnms.git page has a "fork" link to allow you to create your own tree based on the primary.
