Hi All Im very new to GIT Stuff. But by installing the latest version<git-1.3.3

> of GIT and going thru the tutorial, I am unable to understand why

there is a mismatch in the commmands. Tutorial says use commands like git init-db but actually these are installed as git-init-db. Is this OK.. or NOT.

One more doubt is .. I was unable to locate a command like git-add ..

Can some one help me.

Actually, in properly installed git both versions should work, and 'git command' is preferred version, at least for the ordinary user level commands; "plumbing" commands are usually spelled 'git-command'. Usually 'git command' is just a wrapper calling git-command.
