There are a huge amount of documentation and tutorials written about it. If you learn it then you will be able to use it with the majority of every other project on the net these days. There does seem to be a lot of griping about it but I find it relatively easy to use and so personally don't understand why some people dislike it so much. The disadvantage is that people who use hg mercurial and other systems will complain that their system is easier to use but disadvantaged by the huge mass of git users. (shrug) Bob
