[Lazarus] Not sure if the Laz Devs have seen this...

[Reenen Laurie]

I've not used Git, and know very little about it (except from reading the
above and some other articles)

However, there seems to be a "TortoiseGit" coming (
http://code.google.com/p/tortoisegit/), although they rate it according to
TortoiseSVN = 100, TortoiseGit = 35... so it's not even close to where
they'd want it to be.

When TortoiseGit become TortoiseSVN = 100, TortoiseGit = 100, then I guess
the issue for support for Git on windows will be pretty much there... which
seems to be the major concern for projects like Lazarus... ie. very cross
platform, including windows.

Greame: Is your Git repository being updated with the SVN?  Or was it a once
off thing, and is now again a couple 100 revisions old or so?
