I'm actually trying to use it, and it is useful, although it hasn't been working for me completely perfectly. I've still been trying to figure out if the reason why it hasn't been working quite right is due to my not understanding how to use it correctly, or whether you don't use it these days. One question which I have had about the WC script is that if I manually add a commit to the next branch, it ends up showing up in all of the topic branches as a commit that was part of that topic branch which is in next. So I can manually edit the output of WC to remove the spurious commit, or I could make it be a rule that all new commits either must go against the master branch, or be put in a topic branch based off of master, and then merged into next. Or maybe I'm not understanding how to make the WC and git-topic.perl script work and sing for me perfectly? - Ted
