As I mentioned in a previous post, there is smartgit, which is free for personal use, and is a graphical UI (does *not* depend on the mingw port of git, uses the reimplementation of git jgit in java used in google for android I believe). gitextensions is just a GUI around the mingw tools, and as such is less reliable. github also supports smart http for people behind proxies (although I don't know about the authentification issues if any). Trac and buildbot could use a svn mirror as provided by github for the time being, although there seems to be an issue with the numpy repo ATM (maybe my fault: http://support.github.com/discussions/repos/3155-svn-checkout-error-200-ok-error) David _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
