I'm using git a little on another open source project I'm involved in.
Certainly the nicest feature is the ability to make a series of
commits and only push them back to the server once you are ready/
online. This avoids the "I'll only commit once everything is
perfect.... doh! my last 4 hours work was a complete mistake but I
still want to keep the 10 hours work from before that."
On the downside it makes the development process much less linear and
more prone to merge issues since there is no longer a clear concept of
the one true trunk.
github is very interesting.
Have you seen the messages on infra with the guy who has made a git
mirror of many of the Apache projects? I think he is looking to keep
them fairly tightly synchronised to svn.
