Questions

Hi,

I am trying to start using DVC over. Since I did not follow what
happened during last months, I'd rather want to know how does the
project go ?

Is it "usable" for a git developper as a main tool ? Is there
some documentations lying around ?

Well you see what I would like to know :)

Regards,

	Xavier

Documentation is still the big missing part for DVC.el :-(

On the other hand we are doing our best to make it as intuitive as
possible to use without a user manual.

I don't use git personally. But I think that it should be usable to
edit your working copy, view diffs, view log messages, view the
current status and commit to your repository.

I think Micheal is using it for muse and his other projects. Michael,
could you tell us your impressions.

I use it to track muse and planner development:
M-x dvc-missing to view the changes
M-x dvc-pull to update the working copy

Which commands do you use for your git tracked projects?
Some (the most important?) are already covered. We could add some
more, when we know some use cases...

That is one thing I might try to convince myself to work on.

I'm quite happy with DVC and git.  I frequently view logs (C-x V l), see
the working directory status (C-x V s), and view changes I've made in
diff form (C-x V =).  I also like being able to mark some files in
either status or diff mode and commit (C-x V c) just them.  If I'm
