Nope. Damn. And why not? Because there was not a link on the Emacs Wiki
for Git interfaces. And it didnt turn up in my basic Google.

Thanks for the pointer.

I'll take a look. I like common interfaces. There's enough key strokes
to remember in emacs as it is.

But I must say emacs-git impresses me the more I play with it. And git
itself just seems to be a solution that was waiting for a problem to
invent it. It's simply "nice and clean" from what i can gather of it.
