Congrats on your release.

I noticed you use JGit and the Trilead SSH client.

I'm curious, did you guys replace JSch because its a pile of junk?
Did you patch JGit to use Trilead SSH instead of JSch?  If so,
would you be interested in contributing that change back to JGit?
I'm rather fed up with JSch...  :-)

We currently don't use JGit's transport, but we plant a custom SSH
client on the git executable which connects back to SmartGit and just
tunnels SSH data through. Anyway, I can remember that SVNKit was using
JSch initially and they switched to Trilead because of problems with
JSch (maybe Alexander in Cc can shed more light on that).

As for "missing", do you refer to "paid service", or "yet another GUI"?

Just curious,

Ahaha! I can say "a good gui" :)

I was not knowing that this was "paid service". I saw the screenshot
and tried it. No doubt, it has a _great_ ui interface.  While installation I
realized that it is licensed.

Aside from the other good GUIs out there, have you tried
git-cola?

http://cola.tuxfamily.org/

It's GPL and not too shabby.
The screenshots on the webpage are a bit out of date, though.
I should probably get to writing the release announcment and
updating the screenshots ;)

It probably also depends on your platform of choice.
I know some Windows users like explorer-integration, so stuff
like git-cheetah make a lot of sense for them.  I was a little
sad to see that the tortoise-git guys didn't get the joke
(who wants a tortoise when you have a cheetah?) and didn't
just work on cheetah instead, but hey, it's all good.

Another example: eclipse users like eclipse integration so for
them egit makes perfect sense.

Maybe that makes git-cola the poor man's smartgit?
If that's the case then it looks like the poor man is still
winning according to the feature matrix on the git wiki ;)
I don't know.. I haven't used smartgit, but if there are
any features that people are itching to have that git-cola
doesn't then feel free to throw it on the backlog:

http://github.com/davvid/git-cola/issues

At first glance, the gitk-like history widget in smartgit
is very nice.  I've been thinking about how to implement that in
PyQt for a while but haven't yet hammered it out.


Have fun,

Hi, yes..Cheetah has more feature set. Have to give a try once.

I really don't know the diff of Cheetah and Tortise. Want to know more
on Cheetah...any links would help. Some time back when googled all
resulted in Tortise.

Hello,

>> I'm curious, did you guys replace JSch because its a pile of junk?
Above statement describes the reason behind my decision to use Trilead
SSH instead of JSCH more or less precisely.

In particular, version of JSCH we were using, used to work extremely
unreliable in case multiple channels within same connection were used
simultaneously. And code quality of JSCH didn't allow me to fix this and
other JSch issues in reasonable time.
