Hi,

why don't they just do a simple git commit -a of their work before pulling?

That's different to cvs! Committing only affects the cloned repository.

I think one of the biggest advantages of git is the concept of everyone working on a clone. So developers are not prevented from actually using revision control just because they are afraid of disturbing others. They don't until they e.g. push!

Cheers, Michael
