First, I'm likely the one responsible for this thread :-) In my defense..
No one has mentioned what "correct" git usage is. And no, I'm not
interested in reading a whole book about it. But the the fact that it
doesn't seem that there is a sigle, simple, command to do the equivalent of
"svn update" is disgraceful from a UI design perspective. Anyway..

Read that.. Doesn't clear anything up. Here's some basic questions.. What
should I do if I'm using the Eclipse git integration? Should I look into
using Mercurial to deal with the git repos as a more sane alternative?
