I fully second this. cg-export is one of the Cogito commands I still use frequently. I wonder if there is any obvious piece of Git command set we could glue this on (so that we don't introduce Yet Another Command)... I think cg-export is better-named here than git-archive. ;-) And some command in Git to easily get the equivalent of cg-status -g output is something I probably miss the most in Git now. (Originally I was about to say that I just miss an equivalent of cg-status, but thinking about it, most of the time I'm interested only in either -g (long branch info) or -w (git status output)). -- Petr "Pasky" Baudis We don't know who it was that discovered water, but we're pretty sure that it wasn't a fish. -- Marshall McLuhan
