I don't see git going towards stgit at all. Indeed, it gets closer to cogito but I still like cogito over plain git since it's easier to use (my goal, though, is to add pull/clone commands to stgit so that one doesn't need to rely on directly using other tools). I am aware that, probably, the biggest problem with stgit is the documentation (and also a lack of regression tests). I hope I will find some time soon to write a tutorial and improve the command line help. I will setup a wiki in the next few days so that others can easily fix/update the documentation. -- Catalin
