I'm impressed. I've never been able to get that pile of crap to work. Every year, during a moment where get in touch with my past life as a self-flagellating monk, I try it, and very year, it doesn't work. Quite frankly, I think the last time, I couldn't even figure out how to get past the first screen to open an existing project, the UI sucks that bad.
Use use an older version of SmartGit/Hg[^] (why bother updating what works), and free for non-commercial use.

Have you tried the last version?
I am secretly pleased I could do something you couldn't! 
But I am even more surprised!

Haha! 
I was just putting my thoughts in the README as I went along.... I was expecting to put it there!
Must update the README now!

Ah! This is better because.... it leads me back to where I am. Hours of potential entertainment for the whole family!
I would love to see... you know, concept, screenshots, functionality 'n' stuff.

It certainly will be good to put some screenshot and blah blah blah....
But this is like a v0.4, the whole keyboard handling is horrible at the moment, trying to fix that!
I guess after that perhaps I should take some screen shot, learn how to make a fancy start page and write a nicer description!
Well if I want to create the expected community frenzy that I was hoping for, of course!

For me, the best Git client I've ever used was definitively SmartGit[^]. The only problem is that it requires a commercial licence; but it was so worth the company I was working for bought it for everyone. No more merge conflict surprises and crappy GUIs

So I bought my parents a Christmas gift online last Friday, on a French website, and, to my surprise, got an email a few minutes after I had ordered, from an obscure Saveguard company, stating that I needed to send a copy of my ID card (both sides) as well as an electricity bill (for instance) , at best per snail mail or fax, as well as a valid fixed line phone number, to confirm I am real and that the can deliver to the address I had put in the order form.   . My order would be put on stand-by until I send the required documents. ARE YOU F**ing KIDDING ME ? 
After a quick google, this happens to be ... no phishing or hoax. It is real. In 2014. Online companies now request documents to be sent to them to prove online buyers are real.
Turns out that I could also send the documents by email ?! How secure is that ? Do I really need to send via uncrypted email a copy of my valid ID card to order something online for 170€ ?? WTFFFF?
Is this only some new French paranoia, or is it the same in other countries ?

Who cares if you're real or not as long as your credit card payment goes through?
Wow. I've never heard of that before. Sounds like a good reason to avoid them.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

I actually agree with Ryan... If you get a legitimate payment confirmation that you will indeed receive the money then why does it need to confirm that you are real? There is for a reason a T & C's section that covers (suppose to) that in the event of delivery the person sending the article was not there or could not be identified the parcel will be returned to the Office where the person that made the order can pick up the article and if after 30 days no claim has been made the parcel will be sold to cover costs. Well something like that. 
If I were you I would get my hands on a deceased person's ID and send that through as verification where you (it obviously being on computer, so no proof of authenticity can be done) manipulate it to show all your details that they have on their system when you placed the order. At least that way they can use that in an advert stating that they will deliver. Even in death! 
While you are there ask for proof of authenticity that they will indeed send the real thing you order as is to you on a time of your convenience and get an authenticity papers signed that the person to deliver the package is indeed real.

I will answer you if you send me a copy of your credit card statements along with the login to your internet bank. Your question will be set on hold until I receive those documents...

Might be. But as a French, buying online on French websites makes delivery less expensive...

I've not seen it here, but...have you tried to get the goods delivered to an address other than that registered to the credit card you used? If so, you may need to provide proof to ensure you aren't using a stolen / cloned card.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

And then, how do you prove that the documents I've sent are not false / stolen as well ? This is crazy.

Perhaps your country of origin has something to do with it.
