A git-newbie opinion:
I've used CVS for years, am comfortable with SVN (no surprises there,
its so similar), and toyed with some other SCMs. I recently played
with git and:
- converting an existing CVS repo to git was easy--worked the
first time
- creating a fresh git repo was trivial
- the basic actions (status, diff, commit, ignore, etc.) that you
spend 90+% of your time using were pretty easy to locate in the
docs and then get the syntax right
For the basic stuff I think "git just works -- even for a beginner" is
a good assessment.
