As a beginner, I went to http://git.or.cz/, clicked "crash courses", and since I didn't find "git from scratch", I clicked "git for CVS users" (I know CVS, but haven't used it for a long time, I'm mostly a bzr user converted from GNU Arch). There, the commands are not "git something", but "cg something". Well, not always, at least. Indeed, there's still a "git blame", a reference to "git-rev-parse manpage". Then, I can't even find it in the tutorial, but somewhere, it should be mentionned to say who I am in ~/.gitconfig. So, Cogito can not be seen as "a revision control, using git as a back-end". It's definitely an additional layer, not hiding all of git. And then, comming to the mailing list, and looking at other websites, I can see git commands here and there. I started to manage branches using cogito, tried git commands related to branches, and realized that they used a totally different interface. So, cogito has probably been of a real use at the beginning, where git was said to be almost unuseable without anything else (I didn't try git at that time), but I don't think it's the case anymore. -- Matthieu - 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
