GIT is yet another version control system.  However, git belongs to the
ones that are designed for distributed collabrative work, or something.
It allows local commits on local branches, while being able to "pull" in
the changes on the once "imported" branches and "roll-forward" those
changes to your local branches.  It is also possible to push your
changes to the external repositories, which I want to use for updating
the SVN tree.  In a git local branch I can easily diff with the CVS
mainline tree (without it changing under my feet) and merge over the
changes to the SVN tree, via the local GIT branch.  At least, that's the
idea :)
