A git client would be good. When I attempted to install git on NetBSD I ran into trouble because the packaged version (even if compiled from sources) demanded the X development system to be installed (I need to run this by the NetBSD folk, but it hardly matters). I in fact now use Ubuntu to fetch git stuff and the seamlessness of the Go tool goes out the window. The Plan 9 side of this is really for discussion in the Go forum(s), but perhaps others here would care to comment? More seriously, though, on the issue of revision control on Plan 9 (and code review, that being the really important aspect) I'd like us to keep in mind that being able to interface with existing repositories, difficult as it may be, would be greatly beneficial. To what degree one bends over backwards to be compatible is a separate discussion, to be had about the merits of each system. But the underlying system must not preclude the option. L += 1
