I am not sure the staging area concept is there in other vcs, because in git it is intrinsically linked to idea that git tracks content. It is powerful, and I really miss it in other DVCS, but it takes time to get used to - time that other people may not be willing to spend. I tried to write some basic instructions which totally bypass the index concept, but it can still bite you even in those simple cases: http://projects.scipy.org/numpy/wiki/GitWorkflow#Commonscenario > Which tool did you learn?

Both Stefan and me really like git, but assuming we make the transition, we worry a bit about the transition cost for people who are happy with svn. cheers, David _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
