The point is not to know what the project is about. You know, after all you checked it out in the first place. My goal is to quickly/easily see "what is in this directory". Perhaps my usage pattern is obscure, but I have something like 40 repositories checked out in different directories, and I sometimes loose track of what actually is in a certain directory (and in what state). A simple "ls" is not enough, as some of them look very similar on the top level. Hence my interest for "git info". > I haven't spoken in this thread because honestly I found most of > the things mentioned here were totally uninteresting. sorry for this. While I find it useful, this is certainly not an important feature, and I can mimic it now myself. Thomas
