FWIW, bremner has abused vcsh as a poor man's multigit and there's a feature/agnostic branch for vcsh which go in a similar direction. > You can see that > difference in flavor in the command line options and features, > although many options are strikingly similar. Heh, quite. I have to say that I find the order of the release subcommands counter-intuitive and the total control user commands can have somewhat dangerous, but your clone foo=12345 is quite brilliant, especially for multigit's use case. > Anyway it is nice to see > that other people "get it".

There should be more like this :) Richard PS: I am half-wondering if it would make sense to merge the two, but as you store directory-specific (by default) and I store user-specific (by default) that may be a way of. _Or_ an excuse to extend one of them. _______________________________________________ vcs-home mailing list [email protected] http://lists.madduck.net/listinfo/vcs-home
