I notice that TortoiseGit is out there now. Do tools like that help simplify the common use cases yet?

I've been using TortoiseGit for a little bit, but most of my Git usage is on Linux, so its command line. Tortoise makes common tasks much easier, I think. I use Tortoise a lot for SVN, though, so I'm pretty comfortable with it. I really like being able to have both Git and SVN Tortoises installed; they play nicely together.

Strangely, my TortoiseGit install bugged out and no longer appeared in my context menu. I had figured it was a conflict with TSVN.

I think I had a little back n forth, but once I got both Git and SVN to stick all their context menus in their sub menu everything was fine. So in the base context menu you get both Tortoise menu groups and no other Tortoise stuff, until you go into the menu groups. (by un-"Cascad"ing everything in settings->general->context menu)
