GIT is a "directory content manager" designed to handle absolutely
|
|
|
|
|
massive projects with speed and efficiency, and the release of the
|
|
|
|
|
2.6.12 (and later) versions of the Linux kernel as well as more and
|
|
|
|
|
more other projects switching to it would indicate that it does this
|
|
|
|
|
task well.

|
GIT falls in the category of distributed source code management tools,
|
|
|
|
|
similar to e.g. GNU Arch or Monotone (or, in the commercial world,
|
|
|
|
|
BitKeeper). Every GIT working directory is a full-fledged repository
|
|
|
|
|
with full revision tracking capabilities, not dependent on network
|
|
|
|
|
access to a central server.

If you plan to use the "git-cvsimport" command, you must also have
|
|
|
|
|
the cvsps package installed.
