So, to resume, "svn ci" = "git commit -a ; git push"

not very optimum to work quickly...

how to configure an alias with git ?

This is not clear how to sync properly a local repository with KDE.

subversion is clearly more simple to use, so far. git sound like a bulldozer...

I know, that we can use some great option to manage branch, process
merging, check commit about bug, etc. But the lead command for the
common job are really not optimized for me. And for the moment, i want
to work with git like with subversion. Advanced tools are only 10% of
developer work.

I'm not against git, but it do not follow CVS and Subversion
philosophy, for basic tasks...
