[Gnu-arch-users] Fai update: now with shell mode

[Aaron Bentley]

Hi all,

Just thought I'd post a bit about ongoing Fai development.
(If you're just tuning in, Fai is a text-based arch frontend.)

The current revision of Fai is;
address@hidden/fai--dist--0.2--patch-18
http://sourcecontrol.net/~abentley/archives/tlasrc/

Since the original announcement, I've added the "shell" subcommand, 
which lauches an interactive shell for source management.  It features 
completion for:
- command names
- native command argument names
- native command positional parameters
(It falls back to filename completion.)

I haven't sorted out how to handle completion for external (aba) 
commands, and I hope to have native replacements for all tla commands, 
eventually.

Also, some bugs were fixed for listing revisions that modified a given 
file, and for reverting only some parts of a change.

I merged the latest changes from PyArch.

Also, there's probably a name-change coming, since "fai" is also the 
name of the "Fully Automated Installation" project.

So far, I haven't had any feedback on Fai, positive or negative, but 
comments are certainly welcome.  Give it a try!

Aaron
