Re: Renaming gitg project file to GNOME Commits

[Alberto Fanjul Alonso <albertofanjul gmail com>]

Seing https://git-scm.com/downloads/guis and asumming  GNOME is a desktop environment (GUI is supposed) maybe GNOME Git Tool, but tool is little redundant here, that's why looking for something that this git GUI Tool can do. Maybe GNOME Git Commits as it shows them (history) and creates them.

        Hi,
I'm used to gitk (which uses Qt, if I'm not mistaken). The gitg always
meant to me a gtk+ variant "of the same". I never looked for the real
reasoning behind the name (which you gave earlier).

Can it work with anything else than git? I do commit to svn, I used to
commit to cvs as well. There are several other version systems where
users can "commit" their changes. I mean, "GNOME Commits" is too
generic, too vague. "GNOME git viewer" might be more accurate, but not
that fancy. I surely would not get rid of the 'git' word, especially
when it's the only version system it can work with. When searching for
'git' in repositories, it would be nice to have git itself and "the
viewer" shown together.

Just my opinion.
        Bye,
        Milan
