Praise
"Version Control by Example may as well be called The
Hitchhiker's Guide to Distributed Version Control -- it's a concise and
informative compendium that serves as both an introduction and a manual for
practical usage of Mercurial, Git, Veracity, and virtually any other version
control system."
Alex Papadimoulis

"Eric covers multiple tools in lighthearted style that
makes a potentially dry subject both amusing and understandable. If version
control is a new tool in your programmers' belt, this book is a great place
to start."
Ben Collins-Sussman
Apache Subversion Developer
"Version control is a critical tool in the developer's
tool chain. So it's disappointing to consider just how few developers
actually understand their version control system beyond the minimal incantations
required merely to survive a day of coding at the office. Thanks to Eric
Sink's new book on the topic, this need be the case no longer.
Version Control by Example is organized well, light
in tone, yet saturated with practical illustrations of not only how to choose
among and use today's most popular free version control tools, but how to do
so with efficiency, understanding, and purpose."
C. Michael Pilato
Apache Subversion Developer
"Apache Subversion's rise to popularity opened the
floodgates for others to explore new features and designs in version control,
the most popular being Distributed Version Control Systems (DVCS). In a
balanced way, this book covers the most popular tools today and whether you
should choose a DVCS for your development."
