My experience was even worse. That worse that I started to dislike git a lot. RoR is about keeping things simple and clear: now we have and http, and svn, AND git for installing plugins, and some of it works sometimes, but not always, and you need to install something else first, etc. NOT a good evolution, if this goes on. The best way to make a programming language less populair is make it cluttered, complicated, illogical and unstable. Git is starting to do all that for me. Hope it changes for the better. :-(
