Thanks so much for this!

My team and I were just talking about how the biggest barrier to entry
at this point for _some_ of us has been the lack of a great tool like
Tortoise for Git.  My opinion was that someone would soon write it.
And lo-and-behold, here it is!

I'll look forward to watching this progress, and continue happily
using my cli version the same.

Do you feel it is mature enough to be added to git wiki page
  http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/InterfacesFrontendsAndTools
just above "Git Extensions" entry?  Would you do it, or should
I do this?

I really think it's a shame if this does not get integrated with
GitCheetah. We need a good client not just on Windows, but on all
platforms, with shell integration of course.

I really want to make cross platforms!

But there are difference at difference platform.

At linux enviroment, user has been used to command line. I was worked
at linux project before. I also like it.

At windows enviroment is difference. User like GUI. SVN is typical
example. Why it is used popular at windows enviroment, that is
tortoiseSVN.

We have to face the fact, there are differences at different platform.
 I like core server is cross platform. But we can have difference
fontends at difference platform according special platform features.

For example, windows user like Visual Studio plug-in. But Linux user
like eclipse plug-in more.

I think TortoiseGit can make git popular at windows enviroment.
Window user is waiting for the good UI.  Porting from TortoiseSVN is
fastest way.

I think you nailed it on the head there, Li.  I had a hell of a time
trying to convince my team to use Subversion over (*gasp*) VSS,
despite the abominable network performance that we were getting with
VSS _and_ all of its obvious flaws (which they freely admitted), until
I finally showed them Tortoise (which I don't personally use) and then
they were all for it.  Something like Tortoise for Git on Windows
would remove a __huge__ barrier to entry for most people that aren't
already comfortable with the command line.  As simple as git is from
the command line, certain people just don't want to bother.

GitCheetah just show git-gui &git-bash at context menu!

TortoiseGit is full porting from TortoiseSVN. Overlay icon can show
modified file, add file and conflicted file whith different icon.

TortoiseGit can commit change, show log, checkout ... at Context menu!
It is full git fontend.

TortoiseGit is in very early stage. I just implement min set feature
and not mature . I hope there are more and more people involve this
project and make it mature as TortoiseSVN.

I have added information about TortoiseGit to git wiki at
http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/InterfacesFrontendsAndTools#head-803ff1eef7a32fd1d8fe86713de343af18605047

Please correct it if the information there (copy below) is wrong.
Feel free to extend this short info.

Hopefully this way more people would find your project, and be able
to contribute to it.


  === TortoiseGit ===
  
  TortoiseGit[1] (gitweb[2]) by Li Frank is a port of TortoiseSVN[3]
  to Git.  It is Microsoft Windows shell (Explorer) extension, written
  in C++.  TortoiseGit is in very early stages of development,
  implementing currently only minimal set of features.

Nice. Thanks a lot for your work.

Well, my stupid ISP blocks git.or.cz (and gimp.org), supposedly in
malformed attempt to reduce SPAM using MAPS (Mail Abuse Prevention
System; SPAM backwards) lists and null routing. So I have to use
proxy to edit wiki.

It is the nature of Wiki that anyone can edit Wiki pages. It is
recommended but not necessary to register; please do not forget
to put comment ("commit message") as well.

I am not involved with GUI feature Matrix; I only added simple info
about TortoiseGit. I'm not sure who is...
