Unfortunately, something that requires typing commands would not fly. I mostly use svn via command line and sometimes via meld, but for some others (even one Linux developer), if it can't be done done entirely from a GUI, then it isn't going to get done. If it wasn't for Cygwin, I'd never be able to accomplish much of anything in Windows. :) -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwards Yow! Oh my GOD -- the at SUN just fell into YANKEE gmail.com STADIUM!!
