Or for a slightly more serious answer - the current port of SimpleGit should work down to RISC OS 3.5 (i.e. standard GCC/UnixLib compatibility claims). I'd expect the amount of RAM you have to be the main blocker to using it on older machines (it'll have come from a world of memory-mapped files and virtual memory, so large commits or large repositories are likely to eat up lots of RAM).

Previously I said that either option is fine with me, but I think I'm leaning more towards git now.

Arcem Manual
The arcem manual on the website is definitely out of date, and has some errors. Since Jeffrey enabled HostFS for Win32 today, I noticed the manual refers to the support module as 'arcemsupport,ffa' when it's actually just 'support,ffa' Several chunks are also marked 'CVS' which needs fixing. Nominally the manual should be packaged with the release, but in the absence of that, should we archive off the 1.0x manual in to the 1.00 release folder (minus 'cvs' bits?) Then maintain the website version as pertaining to the current version, be it cvs/alpha/etc, until next release when we again archive it? Would strike me as clearer to understand, and easier to maintain.
