This is exactly what I'm afraid of. I don't want to spend hours of going through every plugin I find potentially useful, only to later find out I actually don't need 90% of them. However, I wouldn't like to miss any plugins which would make my life n-times easier... Could you share some of your experience? Which plugins do you use/would you recommend for taking notes? Also, could you write up some more about how you to use TW with git? That is exactly what I would like to do as well.
