For someone with relative basic requirements I would recommend an emacs centric solution: http://zagadka.vm.bytemark.co.uk/magit/magit.html or if using Emacs23 use the builtin Version Control which includes GIT and is well documented in the standard documentation. Only one command to remember (give or take) : C-x v v If not using 23 then I'm pretty sure it's once eLisp file and a require away regardless. This gives a nice overview: http://argandgahandapandpa.wordpress.com/2008/07/30/emacs-version-control/ _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
