> That is really not that complicated. It's still twice as many steps. Well, probably more if you count git add before every commit. Also a big problem for me is the necessity of a git add * before a commit, which effectively requires a lot of management of .gitignore so you don't get things like the Makefile.old getting committed. Keep in mind, all of this is process overhead, an opportunity to make mistakes, and effort (including tracking/fixing the mistakes) that could be spent programming. There are downsides. As I say, I do a fair bit with both and to be honest I am not that enthusiastic about git over svn. It's really good in some cases. However it isn't always better. Sometimes simpler tools are better.
