Thats pretty accurate, the functionality is there. My issues were mostly
around migrating from perforce to git and including the changes made in
bzr (which included a stable release).
There were two major instances where I encountered trouble migrating
to git. The first was from not understanding what it was doing and the
second was entirely my fault because I hadn't imported stable from bzr.
In both cases git could do what I wanted, I just was expressing it wrong.
I most likely wont have to redo those same steps ever again anyway as
they were from migration itself.
As far as day to day work, I couldn't be happier with git. cherry-pick
works quite well, I find it easier than in perforce actually. In perforce
the commands to do it the way i wanted were a handful (not to mention
slow because of the remoteness factor), I wrote a script to do it for
me. Lightweight branching (git checkout -b <bugid> master) makes it easy
for me to work on lots of things simultaneously. I couldn't do that in p4,
I had to have multiple perforce tree's and remember what I was doing in
each and hope none of them overlapped. Or when people wanted to work on
big projects we had to assign them a "project branch", and we could only
have a few so as not to overly clutter the perforce database, thats no
longer a problem with git.
My opinion on git is obviously of no consequence to the grimoire team
since I dont modify spells. But as far as I'm concerned, sorcery will
continue to reside in git.
