But egit doesn't. O.K. I was not sure where to put egit (if put it at all). Implementations? Currently we have core-git in C, egit in Java (what is the progress report on this front?), and there was GSoC project of Git.NET (but it didn't start I think). Do you want question about egit in the survey? -- Jakub Narebski Poland
