Where I'm having to work with projects that perhaps jumped to git too soon, I'm using TortoiseHg with git-hg. It provides views and navigation tools that I've been used to and gives a common base for CVS and SVN as well as GIT and the native HG which I've been using locally as an alternative to GIT. I don't know about the current GIT UI tools but it was simply not cross platform and complete at the time I was having to live with the change ... In my book GIT may have filled holes in CVS operations, but it also lost key facilities CVS was good at. The resulting project ports are now difficult to work with as a whole where one has dozens of isolated module which on CVS one could create a single view of selected 'sub-repos' :( -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Firebird-docs mailing list Firebird-docs@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/firebird-docs
