I have tried to add info about Git to Better SCM quite a long time ago; it was finally added by (IIRC) Alexey Mahotkin for http://versioncontrolblog.com and sent for inclusion in Better SCM to Shlomi Fish. Unfortunately it contains some factual errors. I have sent corrections to Alexey, but didn't finish it: "Git at Better SCM Initiative comparison of VCS (long)" http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/97253 (see also other posts in this thread, and other posts with the same, or similar, subject on git mailing list). -- Jakub Narebski Poland ShadeHawk on #git -- 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
