Setup the workflow in the app, requiring only single mouseclicks to promote a topic branch into the stable series. Have a button to merge all maint-branch-updates into the other branches. And more.. In order to come up with a possible workflow for our project, I have been checking out how Git is managed. I got a little bit disappointed that Junio uses some 'home-brewn' scripts for Git. I don't want to write them myselves (on Windows). I'm happy to see that the 'vger' people are supporting libgit2. Anyway, when I do have some time, I am willing to contribute to the libgit2 project.
