Any support for GIT?

Post by hrc »

I really enjoy the Salamander support for CVS and SVN but are considering a shift to Linus Thorvalds GIT as it is said to be faster and better. Haven't had hands on yet but a show stopper would be if Salamander didn't support it.

(I'd really like to help, building a plug-in myself, but a time resource problem is stopping me)

In fact there is no direct support for Tortoise SVN/CVS in Salamander. Only for Icon Overlay Handlers that are used by both Tortoise (and some other) projects.

You can try using Mercurial instead of GIT. Both have similar feature sets and distrubuted nature (In fact they were both independently developped at the same time triyng to solve the same issues)

Mercurial has a TortoiseHg Shell Extension implementation and should be similar to TortoiseSVN. ;)
