Re: [RFC] Common library for Git GUIs

Often I need to configure some options in ~/.gitconfig and .git/config, but
the GUIs generally only allow to set very few basic ones. I had to resort to
editing ~/.gitconfig to turn off the cursed core.autocrlf, because git gui
does not have that setting. And there are many more settings like that that
users may want to tweak and something to guide them would be highly
appreciated especially by the command-line-fearing windooze users.

So my idea is to provide some kind of "property sheet" -- a treeview with all
the sections and options with editable values with proper constraints (so
boolean and enum values could be entered with drop-down menus) and
descriptions.

This is nice. Thanks for the idea, I will implement that in qgit when
I find a bit of time :-)



Regarding your proposal I really wish you good luck and especially "have fun!!!"

For me it is like to trash out 95% of the stuff and start again from
zero because of the last 5% is missing (but I can add it anyway with
much smaller effort and time spent).

I understand the main reason, as per any GPL project, is having fun
and good time coding and exchanging ideas with peers, but I really
lack time and I am now moving to different interests. So, thank you
very much, but I think I'll stick with qgit.
