Installing TortoiseSVN and TortoiseGit together

I have TortoiseSVN installed and it works great. Would like to have an equally great interface to things hosted on Git.

  1. Is TortoiseGit as good as TortoiseSVN?
    • Can they both be installed without much trouble? Will menus be duplicated? Will stuff be weird? Any experiences with this?

I'm running Windows 7 64-bit, if that makes any difference.

I'm running windows 7 32bit. I had tortoisesvn for a long time now, and I added tortoise git about a week ago...

So far the only bad thing I noticed is that, sometimes, if I try to open a folder that is svn'ed it takes a few seconds more, but that's it :-)

  1. TortoiseGit has been rewritten in the same style as TortoiseSVN, it looks like some additions and some changes from the outside. It depends more on asking the question if Git is as goot as SVN. Seems they finished porting TortoiseGit, when I last tried it it was around 60% ported.

  2. I know that each thing that will be inserted in the system contains the word SVN, so with TortoiseGit that would be Git. They can be used next to each other, although you should watch out with the overlay icons. Just don't mix them up by using them in the same directory...

Just go and try it, nothing can go wrong. :-)
