Anyone with experience in Git?

First of all, fsck this summer. It should not be 40 degrees in Canada, and there should not be an average temperature of over 35 degrees for over a month.

I hate the sun, I hate the heat, and I wish to hell it was winter.

Second of all, when I moved out of my parents' place, my brothers kept the PS3. I bought a PS2 today, and picked up a ton of my old PS2 games. Breath of Fire III, Burnout Revenge, Tekken Tag, Twisted Metal III, Team Buddies…So many old, but awesome games. =D

Thidly, I spent way too much money on a cross country hardtail bike (Rocky Mountain Vapour), but I love it to death, and I ride the Niagra Escarpment with my coworkers every weekend.

Anyway, to get to the point of this blog, I want to start doing work with version control. I've settled on working with either Git or Monotone - leaning waaay more towards Git, since it's more popular, and I don't need the extra emphasis that Monotone puts on correctness.

I know there's a lot of resources online about Git, but has anyone else worked with Git? And if so, would you recomend it, or should I be looking at something else? Should I be wary of certain problems that a newbie might run into?

Metric makes sense because we use a numbering system of 10, which is also the metric standard of measurement.

But old US citizens would get butthurt.

Yes, I'm familiar with obnoxious teenage hooligans. AKA Gits

Indeed, while Git's overwhelming popularity likely has more to do with the people supporting it than the software itself, even its critics don't say it's not top-tier stuff, and the extra userbase could make any crazy corner cases much more managable.
