Hmmm, if I get some time over the weekend i'll take a look at porting them to Git. But maybe some of the items you mentioned above deserve to become part of Git proper? It would definitely be nice to see something like what you just did put into the hands of more users than just those using Cogito, and its unfortunate that the current state of Git code kept you from going that route. > It would be of course technically possible, yes.
