Re: [cclib-devel] github fork

Hi Clyde,

Thanks for letting me know. You're free to do this of course - might
be good to make it clear that this is an "unofficial" fork though.
Just to save people contacting us asking about ASE.

Naturally for us we would prefer if you contribute any fixes directly
to cclib. In this case, if any of our units are incorrect we would
like to fix our source.

This might be the push we need to consider moving to Github. Git on
Windows though is a joke. The interface is not a lot better than the
old CVS one (you probably don't remember this) which also used to call
out to the command line. If only Github ran mercurial...:-/
