[...] Oh, I see :D So your query should have been directed to the git mailing list [1], but I admit that whether it would've garnered any useful responses is rather doubtful. Assuming you have no prior experience with distributed version control, the following should be a very clear and concise introduction: - http://eagain.net/articles/git-for-computer-scientists/ - http://hoth.entp.com/output/git_for_designers.html - http://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/~blynn/gitmagic/ It's really worth the effort, as it'll pay back in no time. Very soon you'll wonder how you've ever been able to work without it ;) > [...] On Sun, 5 Jun 2011, Pieter Praet wrote: > > > On Sat, 4 Jun 2011 18:05:47 -0400 (EDT), Jude DaShiell wrote: > > > I wouldn't be writing this if the documentation were reasonable.
