8:35 PM - Playing with git scm

git is a version control system used for the linux kernel, gnome and dragonfly. I recently installed a copy on midnightbsd, windows and mac os x. So far, the mac install has been the most painful. We're starting to use it for a work project as it supports better branching and merging than CVS. We have a great deal of binary files to work with and it will be far easier on that front.

On windows, it was a matter of going to code.google.com and grabbing an installer. It even integrates with PUTTY which I already had installed. It includes bash too. I rather enjoy the CLI interface although it is a tad annoying dealing with windows file paths.

The mac install requires me to build it from source (ideally) and then I got GitX which is a nice gui frontend. I think GitX should come with a copy of git (optionally).

On MidnightBSD, I just used the port. It took on the time to compile. Very quick.

I'll post again when I decide if i like it.

9:01 PM - GitX update

I opened a trouble ticket with GitX as it does not work with 1.6.2.1 git. How annoying!
