But I *seriously* object to calling egit a porcelain. egit is a complete reimplementation of git in Java. Calling it a porcelain is wrong. Robin, David and myself have put a considerable amount of effort into keeping egit 100% pure Java, so it is Write Once, Test Everywhere. The _only_ code that egit has borrowed from core Git has been the packfile delta decompressor. Everything else is a reimplementation. Just not 100% blackbox, as the egit developers have looked at the core Git source before. Heck, we have even been known to contribute a patch here or there to core Git. :) All of the other porcelains that you listed reuse the core Git plumbing and are thus true porcelain. But egit doesn't. -- Shawn. - 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
