Thanks a lot for the review. I additionally think that Toast should be upgraded to Java > 1.4.

Yes, there is an errata for the book at http://equinoxosgi.org/ (not responding at the moment).

Thanks for taking the time to write this review and I’m very pleased that you are finding the book useful. If you were inclined to put this review on Amazon I suspect others would find it useful.

Great review and insight into the book. Was there any way for you to provide feedback to the author/publisher to where they could correct the minor errors in a future printing?

I have outlined other key differences between DVCS and CVCS:

But, regarding Git specifically, one blog post that forces you to “re-design Git” is also very illuminating:

“You could have invented git (and maybe you already have!)”:

Well said. Grokking this is essential to truly understanding and making the best use of Git. That’s why I think the best reading on Git, once you’re past the basic intro, is either the “Git Internals” PDF ($9 ebook by “Pro Git” author Scott Chacon — worth every penny) or the free PDF “Git from the bottom up”.

I wrote up a long post on the key differences between CVCS and a DVCS at:

This has also made it into the EGit documentation inside Eclipse

Thanks for writing this. I had the exact same feeling about git. It was after the eclipsecon tutorial where I had my Ah-Ha moment, and it was very similar to yours.
