+3  Q: 

how to clone an old git-commit (and some more questions about git)

I have a git-repository of my project with about 20 commits. I know how to clone the actual commit with git clone,

  • but how can I "clone" an old commit?
  • is there a really good git-GUI (imho qgit is not a good GUI)?
  • what exactly are "branches"?
  • when I want to release 0.1, 0.2 and so on, what is the best way to mark these commits in git?
  • what are the big differences to svn?

Actually, the last SO question "which of the two is better:git or SVN" has been deleted. I have copied it to an older answer: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/161541/svn-vs-git/2549128#2549128
