I'm primarily a Windows user and have been using git for llvm for a long time now. I use a combination of: * SourceTree: log viewing and committing * kdiff3: merging conflicts * gitk: amending (SourceTree cannot yet handle unstaging chunks). * command line: branching, svn dcommit, rebase, pull, merging, applying patches, etc... The only thing I actually have to use the command line for is rebase -i, however I find the command line interface much better for the things I use it for. It's also much faster for commits that aren't in the past few days. MSVS git integration is terrible and not worth touching at the moment. - Michael Spencer _______________________________________________ lldb-dev mailing list lldb-dev@lists.llvm.org http://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lldb-dev
