I have, and I do. That said, only for maybe 6 to 9 month by now, and
in that time I might well only have scratched the surface of it, and
yet much to discover.<br>
<br>
But never mind how well I know it, that was never the point. I did
at *no* time say that git was not good, or could not be useful. <br>
<br>
I said that, it is not always the best choice, for that: read on
below:<br>

Your statement is so ridiculous I had to laugh out loud. Git is
magnitudes better that CVS and SubVersion combined. And yes it is
extremely useful even for a sole developer.</pre>

That has nothing to do with what I wrote. And I never said that this
was not the case. Yes it *can* be very useful for a single
developer.<br>
<br>
But that does not change, that there are developers who store their
projects in GIT, but who do not use the features at all. For such a
developer it can be said, that even CVS has more feature, than the
set of features they use in GIT.<br>
This is one case, where GIT was clearly not the best choice.
(Assuming they had choice)<br>
<br>
It is not about what GIT can do, but what a developer makes out of
it. And also what a developer actually wants or needs.<br>

Read what I wrote, before falsely accusing me of spreading FUD.<br>
<br>
<blockquote type="cite">
<pre>if you actually tried git, you would soon realise it is a vital tool</pre>

I tried it, not only did I try it, I use it for some projects.<br>
I still stand by the statement that I made.<br>
<blockquote type="cite">
<pre>I regard Git just as important as a good
programmer editor or IDE. Yes, that important!</pre>

<br>
I agree, yet there are many IDEs, and for different tasks different
IDE are better suited<br>
