Git is intended for something completely different than RCS. I really, REALLY, don't want to start a flame war, although this being 9fans, it's probably not possible. More's the pity. And again, I AM NOT trying to proselytize. But, if you are curious as to what value I personally found in git for gawk development, I will be happy to discuss it in personal email. If you don't care, then fine. I do still maintain that if you go to the trouble to learn git, daily use reduces to around 6 commands, no GUI required, or desirable. And I agree, an fs layer over git would be a wonderful Plan 9-style thing to have. That's all I really have to say about it. I'll go crawl back under my rock now. Arnold
