Sure, you can learn the most important git commands in a couple of minutes. But that will result in a lot of frustration (I have seen it happen to some Xorg developers): Most cvs commands don't map to git 1:1. To understand what the git commands do, and how to use them properly, you really need to take the trouble to learn the basic concepts of git. Luckily, it's only a few simple principles; but still, using git properly without at least a few hours of learnig is unrealistic. Nevertheless, it's definitely worth it :-) -antrik-
