Revision history [back]

I use git for most of my ROS work and have no problems with it.

Some tips:

Don't keep your packages in /opt/ros... I like to keep my development code in a folder like ~/code/dev_stacks and then I prepend that path to ROS_PACKAGE_PATH in my .bashrc. See the Setup page on the CWRU-ROS-PKG wiki for directions on how I had students in our Mobile Robotics course checkout the cwru-ros-pkg.
There is no need to change the directory name on your package to include the .git extension. Git URLS are the only place the .git extension to the repo name is actually used to my knowledge.
