Also, my little experience with git: despite the few commands used
everyday for pulling updates, pushing local commits for writing a paper
or working on relatively small projects, in the end it always came the
time in which I couldn't understand anymore what was the status of my
repo and I needed the help of some git "expert", who normally entered
weird commands on my system to "recover" the situation (including having
to check-out again the whole tree). To my surprise, this also happened
merely following a git repo (i.e., pulling continuously and rebuilding,
without having ever committed anything locally, but probably with little
local changes just to compile on my system).
This means *my* learning curve is not that easy, and quick crash courses
don't help. I'll need to go through most of the main concepts from a
manual, and there are far more concepts than you can find in SVN.
Actually, my impression is that git has so many options and features
that even who's been using and advocating it since years in the end has
only a limited knowledge of the tool. Also probably unimportant, is the
possible lack of integration with IDEs. AFAICS, most lyx developers
don't care about this, or probably I'm not informed and git is supported
by most IDEs, otherwise someone would have already complained about his,
so far.
Further 2 cents (I know, now they're at least 4).
