I remember I started this blog almost exactly 10 years ago all excited by the advent of mini-tablets in the form or UMPCs, with a first post from the actual device. My ASUS R2H came with Windows XP Tablet Edition, qualifying for a free upgrade to Windows Vista, followed by quite a number of pre-release, preview, trial and final versions of Windows 7, Windows 8 and 8.1, and finally Windows 10.

While quite comfortable with SVN and happy with the previous SVN server installation on the Seagate GoFlex Home NAS, I'd like to take things a bit further and try out a Git server. Some of the things looking forward to are local commits while away or when the NAS is sleeping, and pushing those changes at a later stage when connected. So, here we go.
