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, Dscho
