Re: [PLUG] Git: net time gain or loss?


JP,

What are you trying to do that is causing you to waste so much time?

What's been your biggest struggle?

Cheers,
Clay

tool.  But for the wrong users it's a infuriatingly frustrating
time-suck to do...just about anything.  And I've argued [3] that _most_
users are the wrong users.

So...does Git create a net time gain or net time loss in the world?  For
me it's a _massive_ net loss.

[1] It doesn't matter what they are, they should have been simple, in
any other VCS I'm familiar with they ARE simple, but for Git I wasted
over a cumulative hour Googling.

Thoughts?
