Hi,

I have no idea... Brian?

I think it is important, but only when we have enough so that users
actually want to use git-cheetah.

I do not remember that discussion.
But like I said in my other mail, I think that we should try for
../bin/git.exe and ../../bin/git.exe (relative to the .dll path), and use
.. or ../.. respectively.

The problem is that CVS is such a minimal and file based SCM. Git has an
index that has a lot of power, but also has to be reflected in the
commands adequately.
Another thing (and this concerns you, Shawn): there is this lovely program
called git-gui, and it has most of what we will ever want to drive from
git-cheetah. Is there any method to call git-gui such that it performs a
certain command, or is there a chance to get such a method?
Ciao,
