Because I've tried it in the past (for a different software package housed on github), and it doesn't work the way I think. Many commands do one thing in Mercurial and the opposite in git(1) and I'm sure to mix them up. Makes me feel that at 74 years old (next Saturday) I'm too old to learn one more version-control system that works contrary to my fingers' reflexes. Maybe I could if its command names were more different. (1) E.g. git pull is the equivalent of hg fetch; git fetch is the equivalent of hg pull. I'm sure there are others, but I'm not sure exactly which, which makes me wary of git. Best regards, Tony. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
