I am not saying anything either good or bad about Magit as such, because that's not the issue here. We have a problem in Emacs: it doesn't contain a good interface to git. People often recommend something that is not in Emacs. That's not a good situation. I want to fix it. In principle, we could fix it with Magit. I would be very glad if we did. That would require tracking down lots of people and convincing them to sign the legal papers, and maybe replacing some pieces of code whose authors didn't sign. A year ago, more or less, I asked people if we could do this and I was told it was impossible. If we don't fix it with Magit, we need something else to fix it with. So I asked people to build a suitable something else. However, if there is now a real possibility of putting Magit into Emacs, of course I would like to do it that way. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation (gnu.org, fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (internethalloffame.org) Skype: No way!
