It's like Linux in general - a steep learning curve, but once you get
used to it you won't want to look back. I'm still on the learning curve
- by no means an expert - but I like it better than bitkeeper and way
better than svn, cvs, etc. Then again, I tend to wrap the commands in
nice little scripts so that I don't have to remember them all the
time :)
