cl-commit seems to do a subset of what you advertise. I say seems because... > Feedback welcome, ... I can't get it to build. Even after I updated by `hg' tool to the latest version of http://selenic.com/hg/ (advertised as 0.7), its `hg log' function does not understand `--limit' nor `--template', thus the sed expression to create vc-dwim ends up being invalid. The `hg' tool furthermore seems not to work outside a checked-out directory (a cd $(srcdir) && hg ... should fix that). Next, $< is not portable to use except in inference rules. Also, the `$((' in $((./vc-dwim --print-vc-list) 2>/dev/null || echo cg cvs hg svn) is erroneous (see (autoconf.info)Shell Substitutions). Then, perllibdir="`cd $(top_srcdir); pwd`" \ is dangerous, as shells may produce output upon the `cd'. Using CDPATH="$${ZSH_VERSION+.}$(PATH_SEPARATOR)" && cd aka. $(am__cd) (undocumented(!) Automake variable) instead works. On the formal side, many files lack a copyright header; vc-dwim.pl refers to the LGPL but only the GPL is shipped with the tarball; and I missed AUTHORS (certainly not a requirement), and a statement in README stating which license applies to it. I haven't had a chance to take a look at your tool's functionality yet. ;-) Cheers, Ralf _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
