Followed the link, and the README said:

> This requires that you have Go, Ruby, and the rake Ruby gem installed.

That doesn't cut it for me. git - once built - depends on C libraries and Perl. If you want to add something onto git (that is not specifically targeting Go, or Ruby etc.) - it should not IMNSHO depend on other things.

That doesn't mean you can't write your tool in some modern fashionable language, but eventually you need to bring it down to earth (or rather earth + Perl).




These are all build dependencies. You don't need any of these just to run git who. The language could be clearer; I'll update it.


Ah, ok, great! I'll try it then...
