    Personally I love using git on the unix command line.  At the moment 
I'm using it in a mode very similar to CVS:  I've got a central 
repository and multiple instances of the  software that are pushed and 
pulled to it.  If anything,  I find git on the command line to be easier 
than CVS.

    My understanding is that GUI clients for git are currently pretty 
immature,  particularly on Windows,  which might be a problem for some.
