Hi,

I don't know if this is a bug or just my understanding, but I'm having trouble matching the behaviour of "cg-switch -l" with the documentation.


Cogito became officially unmaintained a very long time ago (late 2006?) and will almost certainly not work properly with any half-recent version
of git. Don't use it.

Oh. That's only <sarcasm>slightly annoying</sarcasm> to learn now, given that I've spent the past two years learning and converting my projects over to cogito :/ Could somebody *please* update the cogito web page at
http://git.or.cz/cogito/ and put a big (maybe even blinking) notice
informing people of this?

Bit of a shame that it's died though, because I appreciated the simpler
interface (and some of the output I find nicer).

On a more practical note, am I likely to suffer any issues using pure
git on repos created with cogito?

And a related question: is there any kind of cogito replacement that
provides a simplified interface? As far as versioning tools go, git is
quite low-level...

The reason why cogito fell out of maintenance is that git itself has evolved from the hard-core, close-to-the-metal tool that it was in the early days to be usable by mere mortals. What specific features/ workflows of cogito are you missing? It's likely that modern git already has an equivalent that is just as easy to use.
