[Qgis-developer] Git repo available for testing

[William Kyngesburye]

Is this git thing on?  Questions and confusion.

Is there a git guide for dummies?  I found http://www.qgis.org/wiki/Using_Git but it seems overly complex.  I just want to do like I've done with svn - check out/update, make changes, and commit the changes.  3 steps.  Git checkout itself looks complex, let alone committing a change.

...Sorry if I seem a bit resistant.

Are users migrated to git?  Or do I need to register with github and ask for commit access?

How long until 1.7 release?  I would like to do the workaround for http://trac.osgeo.org/qgis/ticket/3497 before release, and check over the Mac install/build instructions.
