I won't argue about git being easy, I use it myself on a very regular
basis, but I realize that I have searched more for git help on the web
than I have ever done for subversion. More freedom also means more
possibilities to make mistakes. Not an argument against git, but
rather a mental barrier picking it up. Blobs and diffs and SHAs and no
strict increasing version number are indeed a showstopper in some
brains. The geda wiki goes a long way explaining how to do stuff on
the geda:scm page. Not something you find in most projects.
