Or something else? Can I ask what sort of features you are going after? (And if there's a git repository available, feel free to just point me at it and ignore my questions.) I'm just curious. We seem to have a lot of user interface projects going on at once right now (Eclipse plugin, git-gui, gitk, qgit, tig, gitweb, blameview) and everyone's been learning from each other. I think the competition is good, there's no clear right way to do things here. As the primary author of git-gui, I do want to try and keep current with what the others are up to. ;-) -- Shawn.
