Hi,

I am a long time user of Emacs for Python programming. I use Emacs for my
screencasts at arunrocks.com as well. When you use it over a long period,
you will experiment with various Emacs packages and learn by reading the
configuration files of others. I think emacs wiki is a great place to start
to learn about various packages.

In the current version of Emacs that I use (ver 24.1.1), there is out of
the box support for Git using vc-git<http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/Git#toc1>.
I find it sufficient for most of my needs like displaying the git status of
the file and viewing changelogs.

I would also recommend using the built in package manager
MELPA<http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/ELPA>now for finding, installing
and updating packages. It sort of avoids the
need the need to tinker with the configuration files to a large extend.

Regards,
Arun
