Preferred to type or preferred to speak? There answer is not always the same, at least for me. How did you hear about GIT? With my own ears. "How did you learn about GIT" would be better because many respondents probably _read_ about GIT first. s/histoty/history s/porcellains/porcelains/ What is the "history depth"? How do I measure it? Which porcelains do you use? Which child did you abuse today? Let's avoid loaded questions. Some people are just fine with bare git. Have you tried to get GIT help from other people? Better: Have you asked other people to help you with GIT? -- Regards, Pavel Roskin
