What do you mean? You can commit a change offline (git commit). Later on, when you are online, you say `git pull' to get the current state of the repository, and automatical merging happens (and the usual warnings if there are conflicts). Finally, you say `git push' to synchronize your git repository with the global one. What I like most is that a checked-out git repository is the whole project: You have access to all previous changes ever done -- something CVS doesn't offer. Werner
