Just be aware that git is a pretty much a different beast than CVS or 
subversion.  CVS or subversion favor development with a single server holding 
the authoritative copy.  Whereas with git, you have a complete (commitable) 
repository whereever you check out your data.  They both have their place, 
but if you are a single user you'll probably find that cvs/subversion usage 
model is closer to what you are thinking.
