Hello All and Seeking Information

["Tim Visher" <tim.visher@gmail.com>]

Hello Everyone,

I'm new to the list so I figured I'd introduce myself instead of just
wall-flowering... "Hello"... :)

Anyway, I really like a lot of the concepts found in Git and the
reported power and flexibility of it are very intriguing.  However,
there are some issues that I can't wrap my head around, such as how
you can guarantee that all developers are working on the same
code-base without a central repo.  I would classify a lot of my issues
as paradigm rather than technically related. I understand a lot of
Git's underpinnings and the basic usage of it, I just can't wrap my
head around the higher-order parts of it.

I've done some Googling and I can't find a good 'Introduction to
Distributed SCM Concepts for Centralized SCM Developers' article yet.
Ideally, this would be an article all about the high-level thought
processes that go into utilizing Distributed SCM in a team environment
where having a single canonical representation of your project that
all developers are working off of is important.

Anyway, looking forward to participating.

P.S. Anyone want to tell me why the Git Mailing List was set-up
monolithically rather than the typical git-dev, git-user, git-admin,
git-x etc.?  I don't plan on hacking on Git so having the Dev mail in
the list is just noise for me.  I'm sure other people think that too.
Just wondering.
