Can we (well, me) count on the output format of the git commands being stabilized now and not change in a backwards-incompatible way from now on? I would like to finally remove the git itself from Cogito, but for that I have to be able to rely on the fact that as long as the user has git version >=N, it will work (assuming that Cogito is bugless ;-). > So before I do a 1.0 release, I want to write some stupid git tutorial for > a complete beginner that has only used CVS before, with a real example of > how to use raw git, and along those lines I actually want the thing to > show how to do something useful. Is there actually much point in using raw git directly? You don't usually invoke the syscalls directly from the user programs either (and you usually actually use stdio for the casual stuff). I guess the raw git usage can get quite long and tiresome sometimes. -- Petr "Pasky" Baudis Stuff: http://pasky.or.cz/ C++: an octopus made by nailing extra legs onto a dog. -- Steve Taylor
