[support] Using Git

[Ms. Nancy Wichmann]

Yes, very frustrated. I just want to maintain my modules. I could do that in CVS; I can't in Git. I don't use Eclipse, so I suspect your suggestion won't help much, but thanks.

find it pretty intuitive to check in changes, branch and tag.  It’s also
really handy for easily switching between branches when you need to support
multiple dev branches on the same core tree.

set up, but unfortunately the problem with Gui’s is there are too many of
them to develop sane documentation for it. I just don’t know or use
msysgit, so I’m sorry I can’t help you there.

I need to use it for patches to other modules.

have been looking at the tutorials on D.O. Seriously, do you think an old blond
like me understands all that with limited to no explanations on what I am
doing?
