git

after doing the commit on the commandline nb still showed all changes - and a status update did use all cpu and was slow as hell - it took about 1s per file to refresh - and at one point it got stuck again.
To resolve this I cleared the netbeans cache after that everything went just fine. Commits themselves are much faster then using svn. It just seems that the plugin cannot handle huge commits as well as the svn plugin at the moment.

git

well i converted my svn repo to git - looks good.
I used the git netbeans plugin - it still is a bit shaky - and it doesn't have as many features as the svn plugin. I am especially missing the "show changes" view.
When trying to do a rather big commit in netbeans - it hung at a point.
I needed to kill the commit process - remove the git lock file. I then run the commit from the commandline and it worked just fine.
svn support for applications is still much farther than git but i hope that will improve in the future.
