I'm getting linker errors and errors with Version.cpp and another with cmd.exe since the switch to Git. I have not been able to compile successfully yet.
You should probably mention what kind of errors you are getting.
Have you taken note of my comment at the GCode page concerning the git errors btw? Change the "git.cmd" in svnrevgen.h.js to "git".
OFFTOPIC: This thread shouldn't be marked as an Important thread for now?
Xtreme: how did you install git?

I installed TortoiseGit and msysgit, only the 32-bit build of msysgit since the x64 build doesn't seem to be complete or stable. I added the environment variables for git.exe under system.
Errors:

open cmd and go to your dolphin-emu\Source\Core\Common directory.
then run make_svnrev.h.js and tell me what happens.
edit: basically the problem is that msysgit allows the user to decide how to modify the path. Worse, it defaults to not adding git to the path at all. In our case, I choose the option which adds some wrapper scripts into the path instead of adding the bin directory to the path. You've likely added the bin directory to the path.
Try the above two steps after changing "git.cmd" in make_svnrev.h.js to "git" as well, and let me know...
WIll you guys update the build guide to embrace the switch to git? I still haven't found time to setup my build enviroment, but the first time I tried I got errors. Now I saw what I was doing wrong, I'll probably figure it out by myself (or maybe not
) tomorrow, but a guide would be nice ^^
Edit: Just saw the updated guide
