It definitely fits well with the 1.5 usability theme. I'm glad git-gui has helped you migrate a team away from CVS. The case you are describing is definately one of the reasons for creating git-gui. > Side note: with my gitk fix for Cygwin now in master, git-gui should not > be deleting ~/.gitk on Cygwin anymore. Gah. I forgot about that feature of git-gui. It is now removed, and a new version has been pushed out. Thank you for the reminder! > Whatever the decision: Shawn - thank you for developing this. You are most welecome. :) Paul Mackerras deserves some credit too, as his prototype gitool was the original insipiration behind git-gui. And his icons are still in use within git-gui. -- Shawn.
