Re: Magit-inspired Emacs interface for Sapling (sl)

Dear Philip1. I have edited the description in the GitHub. Only “fast interface to sapling” is mentioned, not much words referenced to magit package.
2. Let me think about it, some of my friends also suggest vc version. I do hope two files can both be used. Maybe separate it.

Are you proposing having both files in a single package, or having these
as separate packages on NonGNU ELPA?  Or do you think the VC version of
the package supersede the initial version?

I am afraid I do not understand how this relates to transient?  This is
a UI vs backend question.  All I am saying is that you will confuse
users if you sell a "Magit-like UI" without using transient.
