This is nice. Thanks for the idea, I will implement that in qgit when
I find a bit of time :-)



Regarding your proposal I really wish you good luck and especially "have fun!!!"

For me it is like to trash out 95% of the stuff and start again from
zero because of the last 5% is missing (but I can add it anyway with
much smaller effort and time spent).

I understand the main reason, as per any GPL project, is having fun
and good time coding and exchanging ideas with peers, but I really
lack time and I am now moving to different interests. So, thank you
very much, but I think I'll stick with qgit.

Best
