Git impressions, part 1

To give some news on git (as I said, I started playing with it):

I've pulled in the opensim repository with the changes via git-svn (the whole business is around 200mb - not sure if the SVN storage is much better), branched off the release where my previous experimental code was, put the diff there, and rebased that branch off the latest version (200+ commits ahead). RL things do take their time, so the resolution of the merge conflicts (around 5-6 places) was merely into successful compile - rather than something working. But the whole process was very quick.

Given that the "commits" into the git go locally - IMHO this makes it very viable at the very least as a local "helper" platform for better flexibility, complementary to SVN. One can do many tasks at once in separate branches - switching between them is a breeze.

As a wholesale deal - I've also installed some beast called "qgit" - the gui to browse/search commits (separate package). allows to browse the changes fairly quickly.

I am quite pleased so far - although this is indeed quite basic usage, will need to see bit more how it works out.

The rebase today (reapplying the changes I made yesterday, onto the today's fresh checkout) went without any need for manual intervention, with a single command:

$ git-checkout teleport
Switched to branch "teleport"
$ git-svn rebase

(this little log also highlights some git cleverness about the whitespace changes - which is very good thing to have).
