[short one..hanging around in drafts for some time so I just thought I'd kick it out..] Or well…caching the limits.

There are already lots of articles and even books on using Git and why it’s better than other source version control solutions. One of the things I recommend is reading the Git Community Book. Now, I’m still a newbie in using Git, but I did use CVS and SVN over the years. I won’t bore [...]
