It presents a lot of information upfront to the user which tends to be overwhelming in some cases. GIT is nice, I like its speed but I have more of a preference to mercurial than anything else. I also like the fact that mercurial makes direct use of the python language but this is not really for this thread and could lead off in directions that were not intended. I do not do any development for anything to do with FreeBSD in a Window$ environment, Its not needed for me to do so because I always have access to a command line wherever I go. If the time comes and I would need to, it is nice to know that there is a front-end for Mercurial on Window$. Thanks for inquiring, -- jhell,v
