TortoiseHG includes the Workbench program, which to me is the superstar of the package and what I use daily for everything except a batch program to pull and update the multiple repositories (currently 3.6 and 3.5, 3.4, and 2.7 shares). Screenshot here https://tortoisehg.readthedocs.org/en/latest/workbench.html The main dag + (changeset + working directory) pane can have a tab for each branch repository. A sub-pane for the selected changeset or working directory lists the files changed. A sub-sub-pane shows a diff for the selected file. So it is easy to check that all branch repositories are ready for a commit+merge. Once ready, committing to 2.7 and 3.4, merging to 3.5 and 3.6, and pushing takes less than a minute, thereby minimizing the change of losing a push race. > There certainly is (and with the obvious name!): > > https://tortoisegit.org/ This works off of right-click context menus, as tortoisesvn did and tortoisehg can, but I looked at the screenshots and there is no workbench program. So, for me, not equivalent at all. -- Terry Jan Reedy
