So I've been a bit envious at the lovely git completion bash users have - but obviously I can't just switch to bash. Anyone who is in the same kind of situation might like the fact that I've started a project to provide this functionality for tcsh.
The first thing you need to do is download the source for tcsh 6.15, and apply the patch you can find here: http://bugs.gw.com/bug_view_advanced_page.php?bug_id=60. Without it it won't work. Compile and install the new tcsh version. The next step is to check out the project from github, at http://github.com/olabini/git_complete_tcsh. Make sure that git_complete is executable and on your path. You need to have Ruby installed for this, btw.
The final step is to modify your .cshrc to add something like this: complete git{,-*} 'p/*/`git_complete`/'.
Now git completion should work, although most of the commands aren't implemented yet. I'll get to them in time. The whole project is a port of the bash completion for git

Distributed version control and SVN
As everyone else has discovered, I've just realized how nice DVCS can be. Of course, I'm part of several open source projects that all happen to use Subversion. I've tried Bazaar, Mercurial, Git and SVK. Of all these, Mercurial is the one I really, really like. But here is the problem: hgsvn is really not up to scratch right now. I tried to pull some stuff from SVN at one project and it immediately errored out. git-svn on the other hand works like a charm. It seems that right now I have to use git, unless someone has a good solution for getting Mercurial really working with SVN. (Also, the fact that hgsvn is pull-only is a bit problematic.)
Advice appreciated.
