Re: Git Vs. Svn for a project which *must* distribute binaries too.

Hello,
 - instead of doing a "git pull" that merges the two branches (your work, 
   and the work that happened by somebody else in the central repo while 
   you did it), you *may* also just want to do a "git fetch" to fetch the 
   changes from the central repo, and then do "git rebase origin" to 
   linearize the work you did on _top_ of those central repo one (so that 
   it no longer looks like a branch, and looks linear)
   In the "git rebase" case, you'll effectively merge your commits one at 
   a time, and you may thus have to fix up *multiple* conflicts. So it's 
   potentially more work, but it results in a simpler history if you want 
   it.
Thank you a lot. I finally understood what "git rebase" is all about!
