Hi Daniel,

Thanks for these links.

(Tapping my heels three times). I will get them into the website, I will get them into the website, I will get them into the website <smile>

very soon, really.

Here are a few links that might be helpful to people learning git. Its culturally different than CVS; but once you learn it, there's no turning back. The ability to experiment with local branches, back up, rewrite history, and only publish the sanitized history is quite liberating.

My suggestions

• always have `gitk --all` loaded for the repo you're working on
• update (not reload) gitk after modifying any branches or tags; this leaves the old objects displayed
• `git reset --hard $OLDSHA1` can clean many messes, letting you try again.
• reload gitk to hide deleted branches you're comfortable with losing
• learn by playing around with local clones of a larger repository
• install some of the git contribs, especially git-completion.bash and git-new-workdir

Later, Daniel
