Hi all,

For some time I have been working on a GUI for DVCS systems, which I have 
named Push Me Pull You (PMPU).  At its core is a GUI for viewing Incoming / 
Outgoing changesets.  It also includes support for initiating pulls / pushes, 
doing clones, etc.  Eventually I hope to provide access to much more 
functionality.

My "native" DVCS is Mercurial and I'm not so familiar with the Darcs way of 
doing things, although it is similar in many respects.  PMPU is intended to 
support multiple DVCS systems; currently it supports darcs, hg, bzr and git.  
The level of support and testing for these backends varies, however my 
eventual goal is to have complete and robust support for all of them (and 
probably others).

This is just a quick heads-up that I've tagged a 0.1.1 release with added 
Darcs support and that the code may be worth looking at / playing with for 
some of you.  This is a follow up to the 0.1 release announced to the hg, git 
and bzr lists earlier today.

Please note that error handling is non-existant and that many usecases haven't 
been tested.  The darcs backend is currently fairly new and lightly tested 
and it has a few odd behaviours.  There are also some aspects of Darcs I was 
hoping you might be able to help me understand better.  It seems to work OK 
for me, just please be CAUTIOUS when playing with it.

The hg repository is here:

And the homepage (including a tarball of the release) is here:

I would love to hear any feedback, suggestions, bug reports, etc.  You're all 
welcome to contact me directly or via the mailing list, according to 
preference.

I'm also pointing this e-mail to the developers' e-mail list.

Cheers,
Mark
