Interesting.  I was judging that since Git was emerging it might be better since on it's face it appear there is a movement from Subversion to Git. I need to manage several projects.  Several different "contributors".  We do not work in the same local.  All home based. Basically all I need is

I guess I need to dig deeper.  I thought that was the core of what a versioning system does -  saves each version at commit so you will have a different file each time you "save". Keith Smith --- On Tue, 12/7/10, Judd Pickell wrote: From: Judd Pickell Subject: Re:

That's what you would think. And that's what Git does (in a devious, compact, efficient way that's better than saving a version of the entire file). Which may help explain why it's so well received. Tom -- "To forgive is the highest, most beautiful form of love. In return, you will receive untold

I have a few questions as I want to find out all I can about this career field before I put my time, effort, and money into it. 1) There is a passage from the fourth edition of Unix and Linux System Administration Handbook (Evi Nemeth, et al) that goes as follows: "Sysadmin burnout is rampant.
