Hi,

thanks and sorry,
just want to use it in a shell:

while exploring something new or not so common, I'll not run into bugs 
from emacs-scripts, have all feature indendent from implementation etc.

Also I use shell-scripts, which might be started from inside Emacs more 
conveniently again.

I'll have look at magit anyway, thanks for the tip.

provide this for git too.
