For the impatient, grab git.py from the python-git directory of the ugit project: http://repo.or.cz/w/ugit.git?a=tree;f=python-git;h=1ef75cef116ce750b5bdf5dd38a4cf1ab2c1ce79;hb=b393c428cf156a7c5c75b18379676dbb534a76d8 http://repo.or.cz/w/ugit.git I will work on making git.py a separate python-git project, upload it to pypi, and create a separate repo for it very soon. The interface is blazingly simple. It is a 1:1 correspondance to the git command line interface. e.g. git.commit(F='/some/path.txt', s=True) There are many examples in the t/ directory and within the ugit project itself. Let me know offline if you have any questions. The documentation could probably use some work. -- David -- 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
