Definitely better to wait a bit longerDefinitely better to wait a bit longerPosted Apr 21, 2005 11:49 UTC (Thu) by kevinbsmith (guest, #4778)Parent article: A very quick guide to starting with git
If you're not already a git user, I would definitely recommend waiting a little longer. Pasky is about to rename git-pasky to cogito, changing not only the command names, but also several command options. He hasn't said when, but based on the rapid development so far, I would guess within a few days.
I think it was yesterday that Linus made a repository format change that required all existing repos to be migrated. He had planned to "go live" with an official git-managed kernel by today, but that big change presumably delayed it a bit.

Definitely better to wait a bit longer Posted Apr 23, 2005 3:32 UTC (Sat) by kevinbsmith (guest, #4778) [Link] As has been reported, Linus did release a kernel using git. So I guess the format change didn't cause much of a delay.
However, git-pasky hasn't become cogito quite yet. So I would still recommend waiting unless you're an active kernel developer who is really eager to start submitting patches...and is willing to take a bit of pain to do so.
Cogito is available Posted Apr 26, 2005 13:34 UTC (Tue) by kevinbsmith (guest, #4778) [Link] Petr (Pasky) just announced the release of cogito-0.8, which is the first "cogito" release, and which follows git-pasky-0.7. Here is the same announcement via three different git-list archives:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/298541
Based on the first several hours of feedback, it looks like a clean release. Nobody has complained about horrible showstopper bugs, and several people have already submitted patches to add features.
There is a .deb available. There was a git-pasky RPM, so I expect a cogito RPM will appear soon.
Sad confession: I haven't yet tried cogito myself.
