I sometimes think that the amount of time I spend tweaking emacs to save my time is more than the time I spend on anything else :-) But more seriously: I tried to use emacs with git recently -- it was a sorry experience. The git.el that comes with git is broken (on windows) vc was too old for git like systems dvc is a joke (its supposedly generic for all Distributed Version Systems -- but everything is couched in terms of tla. TLA! For heavens sake! magit would not run on windows and to use egg http://github.com/bogolisk/egg I must read magit docs. Finally I decided to stay with what Ive used for the last 25 years -- the shell -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
