You can use just this single tool from Cogito. ;-) The point is, I'll of course prefer doing this stuff in Cogito while I'm enhancing Cogito, and I'll work on Cogito while I and others will be using it. I didn't move on to pure Git long time ago since I simply consider its UI much inferior to Cogito's. Sure, given enough time and work, it is fixable - but UI flaws are very hard to fix and I find it more effective to work on Cogito for the time being, at least until I bring it to 1.0, then I'll see. Besides, I'm used to Cogito. :-) So yes, current Git code definitely is a part of the reason, but it is certainly not the main part of it. -- Petr "Pasky" Baudis Stuff: http://pasky.or.cz/ #!/bin/perl -sp0777i<X+d*lMLa^*lN%0]dsXx++lMlN/dsM0<j]dsj $/=unpack('H*',$_);$_=`echo 16dio\U$k"SK$/SM$n\EsN0p[lN*1 lK[d2%Sa2/d0$^Ixp"|dc`;s/\W//g;$_=pack('H*',/((..)*)$/) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
