Some opinions about GIT

When we were discussing which version control mechanism we should use at the beginning of our project, my partner present me this fresh idea. To be honest, I didn't hear of it before. And my knowledge about version control tools is limited to cvs and svn. Now it seems that there are many more players in this field. Hence we attempted to use this new tool for our project.

After several days of playing on it, I noticed that GIT is very fast. And those commands are quite easy to pick up. Perhaps there is something wrong with the site we used to maintain our code, I frequently have to regenerate my ssh signature to get GIT access. So far so good. But when it comes to UI, I guess GIT is not the preferred choice for me. I am used to code in an IDE like eclipse. But GIT has not yet had any plug-in support in eclipse. Officially I know that they have support for Netbeans IDE, but I have not used that ide for one year. And it will be a bit awful for me to use Netbeans IDE if I am working in an eclipse team:) . Compared to GIT, CVS is nicely supported in eclipse. The comparison and merging of codes are nicely rendered with different colors. Same for svn. It is also supported (though in incubation period) by eclipse before the latest helios version(prior to 3.6).

Anyway, I may have to pick up Netbeans again and get used to it these days.
