ANN: braid 0.5 - vendor your git and svn repositories

written by Cristi Balan on 2008-10-29

Braid is a simple tool to help track git and svn vendor branches in a git repository.

This is a major release that brings two main features (no more braid/track branch and better merging support) and lots of usability changes, bugfixes and tweaks.

The braid project page has now moved to github, mainly because we wanted to use the wiki for documentation.

Braid now also has a google group. If you have questions or ideas about braid, please subscribe to http://groups.google.com/group/braid-gem.
