No, Git by itself does not know anything about "Microsoft SCC API" (partly because Git is not a Windows DLL but rather a bunch of executable programs, with its development originated in the Linux world). But plain googleing for the relevant keywords [1] turns up something which appears to be a commercial product providing a wrapper for Git exposing this API. Also, this [2] appears to be your post to some Adobe discussion board, and from this post it appears you selected a wrong mailing list in fact: this list is a support channel for Git newbies, and the main Git list (dedicated to its development) is git at vger.kernel.org [3]; you might want to also ask your question there. Note though that from what I gather from various Internet resources I managed to google using the Microsoft+SCC+API query, it appears that developing the support for that API requires signing an NDA with Microsoft (!!!). Putting aside the fact this requirement is brain-dead in itself, I'm sure any support for this API won't be integrated directly into Git until that restriction is lifted -- simply because Git is a piece of free software. 1. http://www.google.com/search?q=Microsoft+SCC+API+Git 2. http://forums.adobe.com/message/5087377?tstart=0 3. http://vger.kernel.org/vger-lists.html#git -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
