Me neither, it doesn't mean that it isn't used though... I agree with the lack of windows support from git.git. However since Microsoft working with libgit2 on a Visual Studio plugin this it might be that the need for windows support decreases. > > >> > Also, the only Python script that is shipped with Git is git-p4, which > >> > is essentially optional, since most git users probably do not use > >> > Perforce.

See this thread by Jeff King: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/206335/focus=206337 And see my humble test of what the speedup would be for git-submodule even with a faulty lua integration (still forking... but huge performance boost anyway): http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/228031/focus=228051 As you can see a lua integration would increase the git binary with 300kb. -- Med vänliga hälsningar Fredrik Gustafsson tel: 0733-608274 e-post: iv...@iveqy.com -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
