It's certainly a hard question to answer, and will never be answered completely, but unfortunately it's also a really *important* question. The best SCM in the world isn't much use if I can't convince my coworkers to learn the thing. So I think it's helpful to attempt to find out whether we have a problem here or not, even if the problem is more one of perception than reality. Though obviously it would be more helpful to have something more detailed than just a yes or no answer to "is git easy to use?" > Could possibly be replaced with "Has tutorial/documentation online" or > some such.

Documentation helps, though sometimes extensive documentation is a sign of a problem--it takes a lot more documentation to explain how to manage a branch in CVS than it does in any sensible system.... --b. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
