On my Gentoo Linux at work, I've trying out git in the subversion locally, while committing to an SVN server. I did have issues getting the inital clone done; the repository is around 1 GB svn checkout size and contains ~89'000 revisions.

I currently try out git because of its ability to do full version control without access to the server (like when in traveller mode).

While on Gentoo Linux it's quite easy to get it working, on my laptop's Windows Vista installation with cygwin, I've encountered problems that could yet only be worked around in a bad manner.
