Is there a timeline for a VV Gui?

I am in charge of selecting a VCS for my company and I would like to choose VV but my boss said that there needs to be a GUI. So I was wondering how long I would be waiting for that.

I'm not sure I can give a satisfactory answer, but depending on a clarification, it's possible. :) What do you mean by GUI? Does a Tortoise-like Windows Explorer shell extension meet your needs? How about Visual Studio integration? Or are you strictly talking about a standalone GUI application?

Tortoise-like would be ideal. Really anything to prevent my boss from needing to interact with the command line. (It is apparently scary)

The tortoise shell extension has been under development for several months, and we hope to start dogfooding it next week.

The 1.5.x nightly builds, first available October 6, include tortoise in the Windows installer.

We hope to be ready to release it by the end of the year, or very early next year.

I hate Tortoise-like shell integration... Can you, please, make it optional?

@Teloah In the short term, if you don't want Tortoise on Windows, you'll have to avoid the Windows installer and use the zip file instead, which includes only the command-line tools.
