Braid is a simple tool to help track git and svn vendor branches in a git
repository.

In purpose, it's similar to piston, but it's especially built on top of git
commands. This allows better integration with git and easier management of
merges.

The braid homepage is at
"http://evil.che.lu/projects/braid":http://evil.che.lu/projects/braid/

Braid is "hosted on github":http://github.com/evilchelu/braid.

*NOTE:* You will need at least git 1.5.4.5+ to run braid. You'll also need the
open4 and main gems.

Braid used to be quite lame before "Norbert Crombach":http://primetheory.org/
("github":http://github.com/norbert) resuscitated it by contribuing a bunch of
code.

He rocks! Go buy him a beer.
