Git gui is not specific to Windows but a\ncross platform tool that runs on Unix as well. git-gui is part of the\nofficial git repository. I just take what git-gui offers and pack it\ninto the installer. Most of the real work was done by Shawn O. Pearce.\n\nThe right platform for discussing git-gui specific issues is the\nofficial git mailing list (not the msysgit list). I added the list\nin CC. I can't comment on this issue in detail because I'm not using\nGit Gui that frequently. Maybe someone else from the git mailing list\nhas a comment?\n\n\n\n> III.

All the cedits go to people on the git mailing list who worked\non the localization.\n\nMaybe someone could pick up your suggestion and prepare a patch for\ngit-gui? Personally, I don't know how to do this.\n\n\tSteffen\n\n> On Oct 5, 3:30 pm, Steffen wrote:\n>\n>> I also created an installer, which you can find at\n>>\n>> http://www.zib.de/prohaska/2007/git/Git-1.5.3-preview20071005.exe\n>>\n>> The installer contains the branches devel merged with\n>> steffen/shawn-git-gui.\n"}]}
