Just that even Linus see it as a good candidate for a distributed control system and that it's mostly implemented in Python. They look pretty similar with focus on the same very issues, so probably you'll be fine with any of them. ... Maybe is a bit slower than its C competitor... but, that's just a guess.

I might give it another try. And yes, there is a TextMate bundle, which can be found here: http://gitorious.org/projects/git-tmbundle Another reason I'm not using it yet is that it seems a bit harder than svn to use; I tried to make some branches and merge them but I had some problems with that, I don't remember which right now, but if I encounter them again I'll post my difficulties here. And of course git isn't as extended yet as svn, but I want to give git-svn a try. It's a relief knowing that Linus no longer mantains the project :D What about Mercurial? do you know how it compares to Git?

What about Mercurial? do you know how it compares to Git?

And fortunately, git is installed, so only a "git --bare init" is enough to setup your repo :) About the other reasons, you are right, probably the most difficult problem to solve will be the tortoise-like interface, git is much more complex so I can barely imagine how it could be done. I can believe there is no TextMate support given the number of Ruby & ROR developers out there using git... check it twice :) For your information, Linus Torvalds made it, but currently he doesn't maintain it, probably Hamano is nicer than Linus :) Hi JoseMa,
