It's 26 non-admin commands now, which might raise a bit yet, but hopefully not by much.

This was one thing I kept in mind when making Cogito as well, I tried to make its error messages as helpful as possible. It would be great if you could point out where _Cogito_'s error messages might be more helpful (it's tougher with Git, but I'm sure they'll love to make their error messages more helpful as well - one thing I _really_ don't want to get into is filtering Git's error messages and rewriting them ;-). -- Petr "Pasky" Baudis Stuff: http://pasky.or.cz/ If you want the holes in your knowledge showing up try teaching someone. -- Alan Cox
