Wither git-cheetah?

Wither git-cheetah?

[Martin Langhoff]

Is anyone working on git-cheetah? What I thougtht at the time was a
joke from Johannes Schindelin (below) turned out to be a real "I'll
stop work now" thing.

Moodle.org is now seriously considering a move to GIT, and a
Tortoise-ish UI would be a good crutch for the transition. Anyone
played with TortoiseHg? http://tortoisehg.sourceforge.net/

We had a brilliant application to work on Git-Cheetah for non-Win32 
systems.  Unfortunately, another project snatched that student, but we 
were scarce on GSoC slots anyway.

This would have been very nice for me, as I almost exclusively work on 
Linux these days.  And I finally grasped the concept of "scratching your 
own itch".

So no, I have almost no intention on continuing to work on Git-Cheetah on 
Windows.  

Having said that, we had a contributor who seemed to be quite willing to 
continue working on Git-Cheetah, as can be seen from the commit history.  
However, I have the impression that my comments on his patches put him off 
somewhat, even if I really liked his work.

Ciao,
