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. </span></font></div>

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. </span></font></div>
