"Unofficial git blog", or "A git developer blog" (or "A git > follower blog"; unfortunately names like gitter or gitster for git > power user's, like TeXnician for TeX users, are taken by nicknames on > #git, if I remember correctly).

Since it's "weekly" and this week is week number 49 in this year I have a certain guess ;) The blog has 2 entries only: That one and the wordpress welcome thingy... >> Why Git is Better than X >> http://whygitisbetterthanx.com/ > > Quite good link from what I superficially checked, present in > GitComparison wiki page. Very nice indeed. Minor nitpick is comparing "hg add" to "git add" and "hg commit" to "git commit -a", I'm discussing this with Scott already. But very nice overall. Cheers, Michael P.S.: For the record or in case anyone ?oogles this: - compare "hg add" to "git add -N" and "hg commit" to "git commit -a", which compares equivalent commands, or - compare "hg add" to "git add" and "hg commit" to "git commit" (after git add, but time "git commit" only), which compares similar sounding commands; here, the sequence of commands is equivalent, just not the individual ones
