From the rawhide department...

nielx has announced that he has ported GIT to Haiku, and has written up an extensive guide showing how you too can get GIT working on your local development server.

For those that have no idea what GIT is, as described by the GIT website:

Git is an open source version control system designed to handle very large projects with speed and efficiency, but just as well suited for small personal repositories; it is especially popular in the open source community, serving as a development platform for projects like the Linux Kernel, WINE or X.org.

Git falls in the category of distributed source code management tools, similar to e.g. Mercurial or Bazaar. Every Git working directory is a full-fledged repository with complete history and full revision tracking capabilities, not dependent on network access or a central server. Still, Git stays extremely fast and space efficient.

So go on, read his guide, GIT goin' eh. GIT!
