[Grace-core] Frustrations working on Minigrace

I agree with this.  Git and GitHub are pretty good IMHO ... I would 
never go back to e.g. SVN or similar.  Using the issue tracker is 
important, and branching can be a good way to develop new stuff without 
break the master branch.  Git is much better at merging branches than 
SVN was.

Cheers!
