Me neither, it doesn't mean that it isn't used though... I agree with the lack of windows support from git.git. However since Microsoft working with libgit2 on a Visual Studio plugin this it might be that th= e need for windows support decreases. >=20 > >> > Also, the only Python script that is shipped with Git is git-p4,= which > >> > is essentially optional, since most git users probably do not us= e > >> > Perforce.

See this thread by Jeff King: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/206335/focus=3D2= 06337 And see my humble test of what the speedup would be for git-submodule even with a faulty lua integration (still forking... but huge performance boost anyway): http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/228031/focus=3D2= 28051 As you can see a lua integration would increase the git binary with 300kb. --=20 Med v=E4nliga h=E4lsningar =46redrik Gustafsson tel: 0733-608274 e-post: iveqy@iveqy.com
