Totally understand. Obviously for me this fits into convenience not
deal-making stuff, as I can use an external compare tool. But
convenience could be a killer feature for some. 8-)

One thing which actually bit me yesterday and might be a real
justification to management for the professional version: protection
against checking in/out files which differ in name only by case on a
non-case-sensitive or only case-preserving filesystem.

SmartCVS behaved as if the client OS (WinXP/NTFS) was case-sensitive
(our server is on Linux), but didn't notice/warn that a developer
checked in a file where the name differed only by case to one already
in the repository, and on checkout, didn't warn that one file was
overwriting the other...

To be honest, for me the best announcement from you would be that you
were working on a SmartGIT client using the jgit package. 8-)

Cheers, Mike
