Right! I didn't know of that. I use git + git-svn link myself.
Ok, Everton, the tool is there. You can start making patches for other
parts of Lazarus!

Bernd, do you maintain the package?
The patch feature works well but its GUI is little broken.
1. the ListView always shows a HourGlass cursor.
2. What are the 2 text controls up there, a Combobox and a Memo? Both
are empty and have no hints or titles about their meaning. If I type
something the the Combobox, I get a "List Index out of Bounds" error.
3. I got memory leaks sometimes (not always) from the "Show Log" feature.
It is a good idea to use -gh always when developing.

IMO the "Patch" feature should have its own entry in the menu.
"Commit" term is associated with SVN commits. I didn't understand to
look for it there.

No problem.
I am curious, how long does gource take to generate such animation? It
uses some advanced auto-layout algorithm for the node placement, bloom
effects and such details.
I could imagine it needs some processing power.
On the other hand, today's computers have a lot of processing power.
