We tried to use git last year. As a mentor, I introduced the students to git and the github GUI app. Eclipse (nay WindRiver) is a serious problem. There are several files that don't play well with git. There are several articles that I found last year that indicated which ones were a problem. I have not been able to resolve the problems yet (due to lack of time rather than trying).

My number one goal in the next week or so is to determine proper procedures for managing git projects with Eclipse. I am also recommending to the students to use SmartGit HG. I use the command line for git on a regular basis, but the git command line is a little much for students to fathom.

My intention is to first work out the procedures for our team. I will publish the procedures here as well. The procedures will reflect my long experience with version control systems in general and git in particular.

If any one else makes progress, I will appreciate the information.
