And there are a lot of good things to use with git. For example, I use the
tool meld for merging and diff files.
Look for git mergetool and git difftool commands.
Install meld from
http://meldmerge.org/
Thanks Allin for the good instructions you prepared (I'll see if I could
auto login for other github projects too).

I didn't have to do anything, ssh was clever enough to log me in
automatically as per usual.
Another thing that may be useful to CVS users: an operation that I would
perform very often (at least once a day, but often much more frequently
than that) was
cvs diff -uw
mainly to check what Allin had done during the night (time zones are _so_
nice). You now simply do
git diff
since unified format is the default for git.
