Hi,
I'm giving a try to git/cogito after using other systems (particularly GNU Arch and Bazaar).
I'm looking for a VCS which can suite me (willing to spend some time learning it) and some collegues (NOT willing to spend more than a few minutes learning a new tool. "patch" was already too complex, and someone already requested me to send a full version instead of this "weird thing that I don't have time to learn"). I'm also looking for a system for my students, ranging from the somewhat experienced hacker to the mathematician not caring about computers at all.
The git/cogito duo might do it, let's see.
I found minor problems with the doc, which deserve to be fixed:
* http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/cogito/docs/cg-commit.1.html Mentions .git/config, but not ~/.gitconfig (which is indeed _the_ place where I think most people want to set their name and email).
Side note: it can be interesting to have a command to do this. For example, bzr has "bzr whoami 'me <myself@myisp.com>'", which avoids having to learn the config file syntax.
* RSS link on the wiki: The URL http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/RecentChanges?action=rss_rc&ddiffs=1&unique=1 seems to be working as an RSS feed for changes, but it's not linked to by http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/RecentChanges. Usually, there's an RSS icon, and an HTML <link rel="alternate" ...> to help finding it.
Thanks,
