We've made the mistake of placing large binaries in the repository (it was a mistake, I know, but the history seems to be there forever). I came from a perforce environment and liked being able to checkout only a portion of the directory tree (not mandatory, but it was a nice feature).Mark Waitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18379371030875205412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810754477660374002.post-3537947609767597222009-11-06T15:14:31.482-08:002009-11-06T15:14:31.482-08:00Some of GUI for Git (QGit, TortoiseGit, Git-Cheeta...Some of GUI for Git (QGit, TortoiseGit, Git-Cheetah, Git Extensions, etc.) can be found on <a href="http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/InterfacesFrontendsAndTools" rel="nofollow">http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/InterfacesFrontendsAndTools</a> pageJakub Narebskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847202568800326989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810754477660374002.post-55345910091847472009-11-05T13:55:49.651-08:002009-11-05T13:55:49.651-08:00I've been using GIT in anger for 18+ months no...I've been using GIT in anger for 18+ months now. There are tools to work with Visual Studio. Make use of "External Tools" for some of the common commands. You can tie them to shortcuts.<br /><br />If you want even more integration w/ VS, see the "GIT Extensions" project.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00624806802039000519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810754477660374002.post-24249880401199121042009-11-05T05:43:06.047-08:002009-11-05T05:43:06.047-08:00I missed a new revision to the git kernel change v...I missed a new revision to the git kernel change volume paper. Greg Kroah Hartman's latest document (http://www.linuxfoundation.org/publications/whowriteslinux.pdf) now shows the change rate of the Linux kernel has increased even further, approaching 6 changes per hour, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for the last 12 months of kernel development.Mark Waitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18379371030875205412noreply@blogger.com
