Actually, I don't have a good idea what I will need, because for that
I would need to study git at least to some degree, won't I? What's

First, you are probably working on GNU/Linux most of the time. By
contrast, most of my Emacs development is on MS-Windows, where
installing git is an adventure at best. Last time I looked (I'd love
to learn things changed since then), most of git were Unixy shell
scripts, which means I will need to install Cygwin or MSYS. Each one
of these needs its own share of learning, tweaking, and getting used
to. If I had this kind of time, I'd probably install GNU/Linux ion
the first place.
Then I already have several local sandboxes: the trunk, the 23_1_RC
branch, a sandbox where I build and test the DOS port, and now the
bidi branch. It's confusing as it is already; learning how to do that
with 2 new tools (Bzr and git) will take more time -- time I don't
have. I prefer not to do that if there's a good alternative.
