Subject: Re: GIT and Github - howto.
Specifically the trouble you have being able to collaborate with others
because you feel you have to wait on others to finish their edits before
you can work on the code base, that trouble will go away partly because Git
is super smart and partly because Git has something no other package (even
Mercurial/Hg) has: cheap (easy) branching.

The trouble you have putting somebody's work together with your own will go
away because Git integrates very well with diff tools like meld to help you
even do manual merges with a minimum of confusion and worry.

The trouble you have multi-tasking with your code base will go away because
you will have multiple branches going on at the same time with Git, and you
will be creating and deleting branches all the time.

I just got through programming a feature in the production tree, then with
git difftool was able to port it to a development branch relatively easily
even when some file names had changed or been deprecated. This was the
messiest thing I had done, and I was blessing the name of Git all the way.
