Re: Anyone know of, or are willing to suggest git with (Perl)gtk bindings?

You know, there are other version control systems around. They are far more user-friendly than git -- you can survive them without a GUI. I highly recommend Bazaar and Fossil is probably pretty good, too.

(Sorry, I'm just tired of hearing git, git, git whenever it comes to VCSs)

Agreed. Indeed there are many (perhaps) better RCS,VCS,SCM,{...} solutions out there. But "better" is highly subjective. Both in what it's intended use is, and what someone "likes" about it. I suppose it's kinda like asking 10 different people how long is long, or how short is short. You'd likely get 10 different answers. Everyone has their own "measuring stick" metaphorically speaking. Personally I'm a CVS fan. Maybe it's just because I'm used to it. But, where git is concerned; while I'm no stranger to it, I'm noticing that there's a rapidly growing trend toward using it, in the "Perl community". So I thought it might be an opportune time to whip something up in Perl. That eases the use of it -- especially to those new to it. So that's basically my motivation. Also, since "reinventing the wheel" is so frequently frowned upon, and I'd hate to make a duplicate. I felt it prudent to inquire here, first. :) Thanks for taking the time to respond. --Chris Yes. What say about me, is true.	[reply]
