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.
