1. I have been frustrated by the fact that git is slow on windows, I know corporate / commercial things a not good idea for the open source community, but every time I run emacs, even though i switch to gccemacs, the magit package took fifty two seconds, which slows me down, against vscode or other editor. I debugged, then I know is because of windows process is different from Linux. I used daemon to let startup time be quicker,I used eshell , but I still cannot push down the speed using version control. Rust jujitsu need to install rust, but I need to seek approval and is gigantic. Sapling is on git (as you said GPLv2) and is much smaller in size, easier to run on windows. https://github.com/facebook/sapling/blob/main/LICENSE I am not promoting commercial ware, I am just make working emacs in windows a more comfortable environment.

That is not an issue, the main question is if https://sapling-scm.com/ is free software, which is the case (GPLv2). > i burnt some tokens and make the sapling interface > called sl.el. hope to seek approval to put on non-gnu elpa. if you > guys can put on gnu elpa i would be very grateful. Thank you!!!! > Emacs FANSSwithin Chan https://github.com/swithinchan/sl > sl.el I am afraid that we cannot add the package to GNU ELPA, since the copyright situation is tricky given that you LLM generated the code. But given that it is outright generated code, I would like to review it before admitting it. I can do so over the weekend, would you be OK with merging the changes and addressing the questions I have? > A fast, Magit-inspired Emacs interface for Sapling(sl).
