So a good documentation about this, even in tutorials, is really important. In order to improve my productivity with Git, and in order to avoid traps around moving from SVN to Git, I often use the Git Emacs mode. It is really usefull for beginners as it works similarly for CVS, SVN and Git: synthetic view of all modifications, easy selection of what will be commited... The biggest drawback of this "porcelain": using it, you do not understand the Git's index philosophy. -- Guilhem BONNEFILLE -=- #UIN: 15146515 JID: guyou@im.apinc.org MSN: guilhem_bonnefille@hotmail.com -=- mailto:guilhem.bonnefille@gmail.com -=- http://nathguil.free.fr/
