I'll just add my 2 cents here. I'm very much in favor of switching over to git
at some point. There are many reasons for that, but I'll try to highlight the
main ones that come to my mind (in addition to the ones Oliver mentioned
already):

Yes, it's quite a bit slower than on Unix systems. But there has been quite a
bit of work happening lately on the windows port speeding it up
substantially. It's now pretty usable for us (Qt develo

On windows at least, it took time in that region, hyatt can confirm
as he knows how long i was waiting for it.
If this takes five hours then something is seriously wrong. I did
this recently and it did take a while, but it was not more than one
hour.

I think a 100% firm prerequisite is concise, precise, and novice-level
instructions on exactly how to use git in the context of WebKit
development.
As someone who has been living on git for a few weeks, I find many of
the conveniences to be great, and it is obviously very powerful.
But "steep

In recent weeks/months a number of webkit developers have started
using Git for day to day development, and have found it very useful.
Git is yet another revision control system, but unlike RCS's such as
cvs and svn it allows local branches and makes merging branches much
easier. In addit
