Why are we trying to eliminate git-cl?  What is the problem it causes?

If it's just that it's not maintained, why not just add it as part of our
source tree, along with lily-git?


I guess there isn't a GPL license statement with git-cl, so maybe that won't
work.

Chromium uses git-cl in the depot_tools:

http://dev.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/depottools

It's a bit of a heavy download compared with git-cl, but one can also get
git-cl directly from chromium:

http://src.chromium.org/svn/trunk/tools/depot_tools/README.git-cl

http://src.chromium.org/svn/trunk/tools/depot_tools/git_cl.py

Personally, I think git-cl makes things much easier, so I wouldn't be in
favor of eliminating it.

Thanks,
