Fantastic! I missed the start of this thread, but wow. I was seriously thinking about creating Mono front end. I was at the sketching stage a couple weeks ago and realizing that I would probably implement only the use cases the least experienced members of my team my team need every day. You have already gone far, far further. This is awesome! If I understand your plan, bzr-explorer is a pure front-end for bzr and uses external plugins for everything else. I think this is smart. I was tempted to design something like "Windows Explorer with hooks for bzr" (because that's what some people *say* they want) and quickly ran into trouble figuring out how to present the vcs operations in a self-consistent way. I've used commercial tools that have that kind of interface and the more I think about it, the more I think that forcing users to *think* about what they are doing is good. Keeping vcs separate from file browsing does that nicely. This is so cool! Thank you! -M
