git

Those groovy folks at Github just announced a massive speed boost by rewriting part of their infrastructure in pure Ruby versus interacting with the command line git tools. Impressive numbers. Great work everyone!

While trying to get git-svn to work on cygwin I came across a bunch of problems. As it turns out there are some problems with subversion-perl that ultimately cause git-svn to fail. Unfortunately it could be another few weeks before this is fixed as the maintainer of that perl module is on vacation. Argh.
