Ick, why should GitHub expect people to do that? A person has already made their choice of browser. GitHub has no business expecting them to use GitHub with *GitHub's* choice of browser.

Aside from having an absolutely wretched UI, it's completely useless. And I do mean completely useless. It doesn't provide browserless GitHUb access, instead it's nothing more than a really bad substitute for TortoiseGit. It's ONLY for dealing with LOCAL repos, not GitHub. _______________________________________________ dmd-beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.puremagic.com/mailman/listinfo/dmd-beta
