Git is very powerful, but not the easier one to use. I'd suggest darcs or mercurial better. I used Darcs for a while and I liked its "theory of patches". But at some point I was just fed up with having to decide about every line I changed.
You need to learn of the '-a' argument for 'darcs record' :-)
With Git, I can stage selected changes and subsequently commit them, while in Mercurial I have not found any comparable feature.
True, but I still don't quite understand the point of the staging area. I've never found a good use for it. In short, I don't think the staging area is the feature that makes git a better option than Mercurial :-) For Mercurial you have patch queues which you can use in a way that allows you to do stuff similarly to the staging area of git. /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe
