Hi Guys,
Believe me, Bill and I have been round this several times - I have
really tried hard to use GIT but it's x64 shell integration is very
buggy and makes it unuseable. GIT on Windows was an afterthought and,
sadly, it shows.
In contrast Subversion is a dream - download it and install it and it
just works. When (if) there is a _true_ TortoiseGIT that does the
exactly the same thing, I will willingly use it.
Brian
