Due to a rather unwise decision made by people who get paid more than
me, I am now in the unenviable position of rolling out a common git
platform across three geographically distinct sites (NZ, East Coast
USA, West Coast USA) amongst a group of very competent *hardware*
engineers who unfortunately are still using Microsoft Visual
SourceSafe...

For the first week or so I was in a ridiculous panic - you want me to do WHAT?!

But the decision was made so the only thing left to do was rise to the
challenge I guess. As I write these in-house tutorials I now feel like
i know git pretty well, but I haven't actually used it yet in a
production environment.

If it was up to me, we'd probably just use SubVersion. Anything is
better than VSS. I can see my future rapidly filling up with git
issues... I may never get to work on hardware again... :(
