<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Will,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I had an installation for rancid with Git integration going. There is now native support for Git, though the documentation is a little sparse when compared to other methods.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You need Git installed locally on the same machine as rancid. Rancid will create the repos for you. Make sure the config file knows to be using Git, not subversion or CVS. Note that the repos are local only, one repo per group. Also,
if you want it to go to a remote repo, just set up the appropriate Git options in the local repo to do blind commits to the remote repo. It works nicely once set up.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hope that helps a little.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">I can Rancid successfully and have it perform flawlessly. I have also installed Git to the same box and have it replicating its repository to a centralized server housing the private repositories successfully,
What I have not been able to do is marry both rancid and git together successfully.<o:p></o:p></p>
