there's no need for cygwin, since there's msysgit (standalone package). and you can survive with only git-gui in vim particular case as I mentioned. so the people afraid of command lines won't even notice. the global idea of this thread is to simplify maintenance on vim. > > Mercurial is widely used, with a possible plus of svn like command > interface.
