For some definition of "easier". Personally, I loathe the interface. You don't seem to realise that using that will force everyone to use that same interface, rather than their choice of email clients. I run a project that is mainly hosted on github, but I absolutely positively refuse to use their web interface for anything. Logging in to check, instead of just reacting to email as usual, is a pain but that is not all. The issues system does have an email interface, but it is not a substitute for email. I can't cc anyone else when I want to, for instance (well I can, but any response the original requester then makes using the website will not get cc-d to the person I cc-d, which kinda defeats the whole purpose). The pull system forces a --no-ff even if the merge is at the top of my branch and doesn't need one. It also gives me no chance to fix up minor typos, add any more text to the commit message, etc. (I can do that afterward, but this forces a "push -f" or a trivial "typofix" commit). I want everything in *one* interface, and I want it just the way *I* want it, and it shouldn't (necessarily) dictate how *you* should work. Email is just that. sitaram -- 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
