More Porcelains?

Now you made me curious.

How many of you are working on your own Porcelains, announced or
unannounced?  I know about Cogito and StGIT ;-).  In a distant
past I have heard of something called JIT but I think it is now
defunct.  Matthias Urlichs said he is doing something with
Python.  Anybody else?

I am seriously looking at putting one together in the D language 
(http://www.digitalmars.com/d) <plug>, though it doesn't actually do 
anything as of yet, since I have to balance classes along with it.

I don't have a porcelain, but I organize my working trees/repository in a 
non-standard way, using an additional script (which creates a new working 
tree linked to an existing repository). 

I've also got a set of scripts for splitting up a patch into a series, 
which I've still not gotten around to cleaning up and submitting.

For the way I structure my working trees, it would be really helpful if 
all of the miscellaneous things that should stay with a repository (such 
as remotes) were in a single subdirectory of .git, so that I could just 
have a third symlink and have it all work, rather than needing a bunch of 
additional links.

Hi Junio,

Well, I kinda work on one written in C using a libgit (using exec of git
executable for the moment) It doesn't do that much at the moment:
commiting, adding files, removing files.

At some point I'ld like to have a very integrated and easy to use
porcelain, but for now that's more a learning git by practice kind of
project.

Cheers,

Python integration needs either lots of fork+exec, a git rewrite in
Python, or a libgit reorganization in library-ized C.

I'm doing the latter, but my free time is kindof limited for now.

My library-ize branch is at 
	git fetch http://netz.smurf.noris.de/git/git.git libize
if anybody wants to have a look. My first goal is to get object access
working sanely (because that's what I need for my Python project).

I haven't merged up for some time, though.
