-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Google in combination with the list archives is probably your best friend here. Googling "site:speech.braille.uwo.ca git" should get you started. Browsing through the threads for April 2008 should answer most, if not all of your other questions. One thing that isn't immediately obvious is that yes, git replaces cvs, and I gather from Kirk's previous posts, and from the fact that there haven't been updates to the cvs tree for a good while now, that cvs is being abandond in favor of git. Finally, if you want to know what git is, it looks like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git_%28software%29 does a good job of answering that, though I haven't browsed the entire article, so maybe the first paragraph or so makes it look better than it is.
