Yes, and cogito definitely _used_ to be a very good thing for them. But today, starting with cogito instead of git is not really easier for a beginner: OK, the program is a bit simpler to use, but some commands are missing, so you'll sometimes have to type "git" and sometimes "cogito" (the cogito tutorial was actually using a few git commands). Then, the user comes on the mailing list and asks something, he will be answered in terms of git commands 95% of the times, ... For that reasons, the maintainer of cogito said some time ago that he was probably going to stop working on cogito. Maybe I missed something in the meantime, but I don't think anyone volunteered to continue with cogito. So, encourraging people to use cogito is a bit like "hey, try this, but once you've finished learning it, you'll have to forget it and migrate" ... -- Matthieu - 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
