It wasn’t so long ago I set aside cvs to take up subversion—which for all practical purposes has met my needs. But it’s no longer possible to ignore git: Many open source projects have already switched over to using it. It’s apparent that I will be assimilated sooner or later. Might as well make it sooner.
There are good and bad things about git. On the good side, github seems pretty cool, in so far as it facilitates collaboration in a way that leaves svn far behind. (Ever installed permission wrappers for a svn repository?) On the bad side, the git manpages are all but un-buildable under OS X. (Yeah, you can build them. If you install asciitext. And xmlto. And getopt. And gettext. This is where I gave up. This is too much work just to get manpages. And may I note that most of those packages don’t use a standard autoconf?)
