SVN's svn:externals To GIT's Submodule 40
mcnazar writes "Do you manage your Rails Plugins via svn:externals? Thinking of switching to Git but are concerned that Git lacks a direct equivalent of svn:externals? In this article I present a work-around or even IMHO a better solution than SVN's svn:externals."

Personally, when I have to interact with a project that uses svn (as I do daily in my job) I use bzr with its svn integration.

I produced an hour-long screencast tutorial on Git that has helped many people. Technically edited by Junio C. Hamano, available in Quicktime or Ogg Theora:

Again I was impressed. It has been a while since I've tried git and I was amazed at how easy it was to do some easy stuff. I grabbed a source tarball and built it (on my mac) and it installed perfectly. Then I used it git to get the git source via http. That worked flawlessly. I went through some examples on the git site on the git code and it was all really nice. Everything made pretty good sense and just worked.
The only thing was getting the man pages installed locally.. and in that case, I logged into #git on freenode and someone immediately helped me, even though os x's tar is lacking standard functionality and the immediate command they gave me didn't work.
All I can say is WOW.
