Hello!

TA> In playing around with their Fork Queue feature... I have a week old TA> fork to which I've made no changes. I do "Select All" for al the TA> changes in teh original fork and then select "Apply" in the drop down TA> "Actions" menu. It then just sits there doing nothing.

  Last time I tried it, it said that I'll have conflicts, even though
  it was clearly a fast-forward situation. I think that either the
  feature is not production-ready, or I am severely missing something.
  I don't know the current situation, that's why I suggested you give
  it a try.

  I don't use TGit. Previous version used to hang its cache process,
  consuming 100% CPU. After once restarting it 3 times in 10 minutes I
  got rid of it. Didn't have time to give the latest version a try.
  I like the idea, and the GUI looks very usable, but I guess the
  implementation is pretty sloppy. Unlike TSvn, which is great.
  I'm using msysgit with gitk and git gui (in previous version
  git gui didn't show diffs, but the latest works almost fine).
