guide to git using spatial analogies

Giles Bowkett
http://tartley.com/?p=1267

"think of the state of your repository as a point in a high-dimensional ‘code-space’,  in which branches are represented as n-dimensional membranes, mapping the spatial loci of successive commits onto the projected manifold of each cloned repository."

He presents it as a simplification, although that might be ironic.

Speaking of git, it turns out my hosting service uses (and prefers, I believe) git over the others (svn, cvs, ..).  But I haven't needed to use it but would like to start.

What's the best guide out there for newbies?

I found the OReilly book, "Version Control with Git: Powerful Tools and Techniques for Collaborative Software Development" (ISBN-10: 0596520123), helpful.

Cheers,
Andy

I don't speak Italian, but that does sound like a classy option. I like PeepCode:


GitHub has some good guides (http://help.github.com/) but the big thing I used the most getting started was probably the cheat sheet: http://cheat.errtheblog.com/s/git
