Using GIT as a verson control solution?

[Wowbagger]

I am looking at trying to do a very distributed design effort, and we are planning on source code being managed by GIT, for all the normal reasons you'd choose GIT vs. the other solutions - especially since we are wanting to be able to farm out work to contractors without having to provide them with access to our internal servers any more than needed.

Ideally, I'd like to use GIT to manage the UML models as well, to allow releases to track different versions of the model, and to help merging model changes that happen across sites, including contractor sites - which is why I'd rather NOT use a shared database (plus the issues of accessing various versions of the model and tracking changes).

Does anybody have any experience in tying EA into GIT?

I gave up trying to use GIT after fumbling through an install... I have not used UNIX in years and could find no help on adding commit comments. Totally confused by the environment and the command line interface.

I'm sure it's a great tool, just not for the average joe IMHO.

I just prefer a GUI...

You'll need to find an scc client I suspect.

Given that SCC is a MS only protocol that requires and NDA to implement, I seriously doubt we'll be seeing a SCC bridge to GIT any time soon, unfortunately.
