Hi,
 
If you are a SVN guy, I bet, you already familiar with Tortoise SVN
client.
Tortoise GIT is a open source GUI client for windows & have same
simple functionality as Tortoise SVN.

Thanks Mitrah. I'm going to check that out because I'm definitely a
bit over my head in learning Git at this point. Hopefully Tortoise
will help ease the pain. I really would like to get this code checked
in ASAP.

Tortoise is definitely the way to go... we actually use it with
Mercurial/Kiln. We set up the Eclipse client because we really like working
with Mylyn but we end up doing most of the work with Tortoise. It's faster
and it gives you more insight into what's happening.
We switched from CVS (although most of us had used SVN before too) to
Mercurial and it was a rather difficult adjustment for our team, but mostly
because of the way we set up our repositories. We used the Fog
Creek-recommended method of setting up Dev, Test and Prod repos, then doing
development in Dev and pushing up, and bug fixes (more like hot fixes) in
Prod and pushing down. Getting into a rhythm with that was difficult and we
ended up with some merge nightmares. But once we got past that, it started
working out well.
Even though it's about Mercurial/Hg and not Git, the ideas on this site may
be helpful: http://hginit.com/00.html.
 
If I was going to make one recommendation, it would be to start out as a
single team member with a single repository until you get used to it, then
gradually work in more committers and more repos when you are comfortable.
You think that "ok, I have to commit, then push" sounds simple, until you
run into all the questions about pushing between repositories and running
into conflicts with team members and such.
 
Hope that helps - good luck!

Todd,
 
I know a fair bit about Git. If you want some hands-on help getting
things set up just let me know. We can IM or Skype and probably get it
done in fairly short order.
 
Cheers,
Bob

Bob:
 
Thanks to the Tortoise GIT suggestions I've just now got a working copy up
on GitHub (will blog more in short order)...

For some reason I can *not* get the .settings folder to "go away" - not a
deal breaker at this point though.
 
I'd still love some hands-on info on Git if you're willing. Can I take you
up on that in the near future?
 
Todd

Yep - still didn't work.  I also tried "Delete (Keep Local)" in Tortoise GIT.  Didn't work either.
