I'm standing with one foot in SVN with my other in Git land while more
weight is certainly left on SVN side.  I needed to learn the Git
workflow since several Debian Med team members switched and I think it
would be a bad idea to refuse the Git addictives from the team.  I can
confirm that after some trouble in the beginning I got auite adapted
also to Git.

If you are looking for some git workflow you might like to inspect
Debian Med team policy at

   http://debian-med.alioth.debian.org/docs/policy.html

and seek for the term git.  Recently Debian GIS people adapted this
document to their needs and I'd regard it quite resonable if DebiChem
would create a comparable document.  It might make sense if we would
share some common portions between these policy documents of Debian
Med, Debian GIS and Debian Science.

Kind regards

      Andreas.
