It wasn't my intention to 'dispute' anything, only just to point that out. :) > > I have reviewed a lot of Git GUI front-ends in depth over the years. > In every single case they lagged behind Git command line interface > features or couldn't do some of the more advanced functionality.

At least compared to TSVN 1.6.5 with SVN 1.6.5 i also have on that machine. (plus, this needs a special area to hold the 'bare'/repo 'remote' directories, or a server, which git doesn't need that badly) As per features, I'm probably not even using 5% of them... but it lets me get used to having them, in case I need them later on; I remember looking at TGit when it was not yet 'on par' with git's own features (pre-1.0 TGit) and it wasn't as impressive as it is now. And having just tried that-era (2.8.2.windows.1) git-bash, on my winxp sp3, I can't say I'm impressed with its speed... even ls -l is a 1-2s delay... (that may or may not apply to git itself though, it just discourages me from trying it). > Regards, Graeme > Kind Regards -L. _______________________________________________ fpc-other maillist - fpc-other@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-other
