Hi,
First post, hope this is going to the right place.
I’m in a fairly restricted situation were I have a Live Web Server and a Dev Web Server. Now the Live box is running Ubuntu 7.04, and installs git version 1.4.* through apt-get. On the Dev box I’ve got Ubuntu 7.10, and this installs git version 1.5.*.
Each seem to use slightly different commands, e.g. to initialise a repository. 
My question is am I ok to use git versions 1.4.* and 1.5.* together, or am I going to have problems? Should I down great my Dev box to Ubuntu 7.04 to get git version 1.4* so they are the same?
I can’t take down the Live box, or upgrade git on it, hence the fairly restricted situation.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Regards
Ryan
