I agree that its much easier to deal with, especially for external 
parties that are unfamiliar with git. I suppose the windows tools make 
it much easier for people to do things, without them even knowing what 
they do? I never used them so can't be sure.

the dtv changes could be done that way. Now its time for people to 
disagree and tell us why it's a bad idea :)
