[M3devel] getting started with git?

Aha, so we can please use the "shared repository model"?
I'll try pushing a change later and see if I'm already allowed.
 

I too had developed a severe case of "Stockholm syndrome" with CVS -- learning to like your captors.
I could tell it was awful, but I understood it pretty well and could work within its limits.

 
Thanks,
 - Jay
