That however is only half the problem. There are already several guis for git. None of them covers complete git functionality, but if you can start adding functionality to one of them instead of starting from scratch, it would give you a good head start. At least the git-gui (in Tcl/Tk, part of git distribution) and qgit4 (git://repo.or.cz/qgit4.git, discuss changes on the git mailing list -- se also http://digilander.libero.it/mcostalba/, but that only discusses the previous Qt3-based branch) work on Windows. > We need to be able to go back and forth to our main Perforce depot, > and while I understand that git-svn support is very good, I have only > seen limited support of Perforce.

Search the list. The archive at http://marc.info/?l=3Dgit provides quite sensible search support. There were some interesting discussions about perforce in last few months. --=20 Jan 'Bulb' Hudec --opJtzjQTFsWo+cga Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFGml64Rel1vVwhjGURAgrXAJ90s0vOYv9DJ4YeOY+HjBzl9iu9kgCdH8tg Qlcl0+6PtaWyrad9PDwQKZg= =IXva -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --opJtzjQTFsWo+cga--
