Nigel Magnay: I create a tortoisegit project at repo.or.cz. http://repo.or.cz/w/TortoiseGit.git It is coming from TortoiseSVN. It is very early stage. The context menu have worked. TortoiseGitProc.exe help command have been worked. Welcome contribute.

This is significant, as these are a finite resource in the windows shell, and so having a TortoiseSVN + TortoiseGIT on one machine and you might run out, and I'd imagine lots of people wanting both. On the minus side, building (Tortoise)SVN requires a lot of environment setup just to get it to build - most of which can be immediately thrown away as it's specific to SVN. But it doesn't look like a hard project to me, just requires stripping out a lot of junk and re-patching callouts to a git executable (which could be the standard git tools) and a minimal git library that knows if files are dirty. -- 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
