Hello,
With all the discussion about user interface difficulties, I started to
write a comparison with subversion document. (I was assuming that people
find subversion easy). As much as I love git, I was expecting to find that
it's hard to use interface would have subversion as the clear winner. I
was hoping that would then give guidance as to what could be fixed in git.
I was surprised, therefore, to find that in each case I was finding that
git was the winner.
subversion is a winner when it comes to options handling (especially --help)
and better (error) messages. That's one of reason why people find it easy.
Yup. Most discussions about what git can do to improve usually ends up
in a patch that fixes either documentation or error- / help-messages.
ps. I'm blind or there is no documentation about what utilities are needed to
get git fully working? (like sed, coreutils, grep, rcs package (merge tool
afaik needed)...).
perl and the standard coreutils, which afaik are required to be present
on all unix systems. We no longer require external merge tools.
