They could be written, but certainly not "just as easily". I'm more used to coding Cogito, I find it much more convenient than hacking git's shell scripts (those two may be interconnected ;), and there's plenty of infrastructure in Cogito missing in Git - Cogito has more flexible arguments parsing, documentation bundled with code, I could just cut'n'paste the code to handle -m arguments and message editor (and most of it is libified anyway) so I got that basically for free, and I think Cogito beats Git hands down in code readability. > Not sure if it would be useful, but it shouldn't be too hard to have > same commit ids regenerated at receiving end with git patches. It would be of course technically possible, yes. But somewhat more work, this is just a quick hack. -- Petr "Pasky" Baudis Stuff: http://pasky.or.cz/ #!/bin/perl -sp0777i
