git-ftp for /contrib

Hi

I scripted a small tool called git-ftp for optimal interaction between
git and ftp. I use it quite often and I thought it might fit in the
contrib section of git.

Please have a look at http://github.com/resmo/git-ftp and give me some
feedback. See README and an (almost outdated) screencast.

Thanks for the great work.

What a coincidence! I've also made a small Python script for git<->ftp
synchronization, unsurprisingly called the same thing.

(Unfortunately, since it's written in Python it seems pretty unlikely
to go into the contrib section of git.)

Cheers,

I don't know about adding this script to contrib/ section (you would
probably need to send properly formatted patch adding it in approriate
place in contrib/), but could each of you add your project to the

  http://git.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/InterfacesFrontendsAndTools

page on Git Wiki?  Thanks in advance.


P.S. I wonder how hard would be to add native support for "dumb"
ftp:// protocol, so that "git fetch ftp://example.com/repo.git"
_and_ "git push ftp://example.com/repo.git" works.

AFAIK, ftp(s):// fetch already works, but there is no FTP push.
