Re: [ANNOUNCE] Cogito-0.16.1

Dear diary, on Tue, Dec 13, 2005 at 02:26:36AM CET, I got a letter
where Paul Dickson [off-list ref] said that...

  this is Cogito version 0.16.1, the next stable release of the
human-friendly version control UI for the Linus' GIT tool.

Can the -help argument be supported too?  It's pretty annoying to end up
typing -help and having that used as a tag or commit.

Both -h and --help is supported. -help should always yield "unknown
argument", but supporting it directly would be inconsistent and might
make the users think that they can actually use that for all the long
arguments.

Any chance of man files?  I'm more use to type man than cg-help.

You can make the man files by

	make doc

and install them by

	make install-doc


This isn't done by default so that you won't need asciidoc for the
build. This is exactly the same way in GIT.

How about giving instructions in the edited commit message about how to
abort the commit.  I've figured out you can just delete all the
referenced files, but this was just by accident. (0.15.1)  I had my emacs
segfault and that commit was performed too.

Thanks for the idea:

+[ "$commitalways" ] && echo "CG: Do not save this file and just quit if
	you want to abort the commit." >>$LOGMSG

Any chance a creating a very simple cg-mv?  Having to switch is a lower
level (git) to perform this function takes time (verifying the
functionality).

Yes. That's planned for 0.17, and I have the patch in my queue.

Is there a cogito equivalent of "git-branch foo"?  It seems cg-branch-add
does everything but that.

cg-switch, but it's not in 0.16. It's in the 0.17pre git tree and will
be in 0.17.
