In order to improve my productivity with Git, and in order to avoid
traps around moving from SVN to Git, I often use the Git Emacs mode.
It is really usefull for beginners as it works similarly for CVS,
SVN and Git: synthetic view of all modifications, easy selection of
what will be commited... The biggest drawback of this "porcelain":
using it, you do not understand the Git's index philosophy.

git-gui is a good tool here (so good, in fact, that this is the second
time today I spam the list about it).

Please be sure to _always_ include a URL whenever you are spamming.
