I want to add my praise for the book, but I also have the question of getting things out of Git.
I wanted to get the basics of using Git before working through the PragProg Hello, Android book. I haven’t read the whole of the Git book, so I may be asking too much, but I’d like to understand how I can revert to a different version of a single file or a whole directory tree. Ideally with a version history focussed on the file or files in question. Perhaps this is covered later in the book, but some mention early on would be helpful. It may be that I am missing this because of terminology… my experience of SCC is limited mainly to ClearCase and VisualAge (long ago).
It would also be good to have some coverage of Git extensions for IDEs such as Eclipse. I’m running Ubuntu 10.10 and have settled on using the EGit plugin in Eclipse and externally QGit, but I’m still on the learning curve with both of these.
Thanks.
