Yeah long term tsvn user here. When I have to use it now I miss the speed of
git gui/gitk, and the at-a-glance overview of all uncommitted changes and
integrated diffs. Eye of the beholder and all that I guess.

I use Console:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/console/files/

I've got one tab open for a command prompt (which actually does copy/paste
actions properly), and a couple of git bash tabs. I've had some problems
with the latest dev version, so I'm still on 2.00.139. To set it up with
git, download and install, go to Edit/Settings/Tabs and add a tab with the
following settings:

title: Git
set icon to: "c:\program files\git\etc\git.ico"
set shell to "c:\program files\git\bin\bash.exe --login -i"
cursor: Fading block  <-- this isn't essential but looks better ;)

Agreed.

I'm of the opinion that the 'non-linear' approach to development is

nor always connected,


...can you create a new branch offline, commit locally, and switch branches
again? I haven't used 'edge' svn for a while.

I suppose it depends on your workflows. We had endless trouble with merges,
and nitty gritty things like locked working copies, cleanups, moved files,
.svn folders, etc. Death from a thousand cuts...
