P.S: I find it way harder to properly maintain a couple of git branches and forks than doing my stuff with svn. The git userinterface is just a pain, i regularly get confused and have no idea what to do.
When I first started using git, from being very comfortable with svn, it was very frustrating for me. The things that got me past the frustration and onto reasonable work flows were gitk, git gui, and git stash. gitk is a GUI that shows the branches, commits, etc git gui shows working copy/branch things, commits. Amending last commit and cherry picking are a great features built into gui. git stash is a stack of patches I started using git via git-svn which complicates things because of the necessity to commit back to svn properly. git fetch git svn rebase git stash are essential commands to know about to work with git-svn The upshot is, the initial learning curve, especially if coming from a cvs/svn background, is nonzero. One of my favorite quotes is that "learning to use c++/Unix/(now Git)" is hard, but using c++/Unix/git is easy." My opinion, the time investment in all of these tools will repay you 100 fold.
