[development] CVS -> GIT

[Victor Kane]

To feel comfortable with Git, make this book your bible:

http://progit.org/book/

 <http://progit.org/book/>Chapter 2 starts getting you used to your everyday
workings, and particularly explains the cool "staging" concept (I wanna
commit just a bit, then another bit...) which is one of the things that
makes Git shine, apart from the fact that it is distributed.

Check out the beautiful "file status lifecycle" diagram at:

http://progit.org/book/ch2-2.html

<http://progit.org/book/ch2-2.html>Read (and re-read, I often forget a whole
bunch of stuff and conveniences) and you will start feeling comfy with Git
in no time.
