Hi Jesse,<br>
<br>
In my experience, the move to a next gen VCS like git for parralll
distributed dev is a very good thing. Here is a good tutorial based on
mercurial (aka hg) but many concepts apply to git:<br>

Slightly off-topic but I am curious what tradeoffs you see between git
and mercurial (aka hg) for a next gen vcs.<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>

you can still use SVN.</div>

    <div>That link has some details about it. &nbsp;The main caveat is =
that
you will have to ask me, Andrea, Jody or Mauricio to add you as a
collaborator. &nbsp;Everyone who want to work on trunk will need:</div>
    <div><br>
    </div>
    <div>- A ssh private/public key pair</div>
    <div>- A github account.</div>
    <div><br>
    </div>
    <div>When that is done it is very easy to add you as a collaborator
on github.</div>
    <div><br>
    </div>
    <div>Any interest?</div>
