   by the way, as a nice demonstration of some of this git/github greatness, there have been a number of useful changes submitted by users that have been pulled in and deployed now, including the beginnings of a french translation of the site

   I disagree - I feel that the branch model in Git and its support in the distributed models gives Git an advantage over bzr and hg in overall workflow flexibility, including the centralized model. However, wmf below is correct in that I did

   I would argue (as I do at the site there) that Git is just as easy to learn and use as Hg, in some cases easier ( http://jointheconversation.org/2008/11/24/on-mercurial/ ). The 'Hg is easier' argument tends to be from those who initially t

   I started using Git as a filesystem long before I started using it as an SCM, so I never really went through the 'choosing' process, however, from the people that I talk to about this, Gits popularity tends to be because of the cheap local

    I can't believe I let that up with those spelling errors. Thanks for pointing that out. It's fixed and will go out with our next push. I really am better at training than I am at spelling :) For the longest time, I had been spelling 'ca
