LMI> Let me know whether I'm doing something wrong... Do your work in logical chunks, like with CVS. When ready, do a commit (or ammend as needed). Do a push when you need to, there's no problem with pushing once or several times, but it's more of a pain to revert. The ChangeLog format is the same. The *commit message* should be --cut-- short-description-of-change normal-commit-message --cut-- which produces nice one-line summaries in the condensed git log (and Bazaar). The sync with Emacs is done by Yamaoka-san. I don't know how often. It's not hard to set up apparently; he posted some explanations. I had planned to set up a smart sync process with add/delete/move support but it hasn't been necessary so far. Ted
