Support for display names, instead of IP only.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The roadmap for v0.8 says "Support for display names, instead of IP only.".

This seems to suggest there will be a central server to resolve display
names to the IP addresses.

How exactly do you plan on implementing this?

Thanks.

Actually, it's really just a way to associate IP names and a human readable 
label.

For example:
Name: Randy Jones
IP: 10.13.9.78

That way, whether you set these in the hosts.txt which were distributed with 
the 
Gitso installer or you included them on a server and set Gitso to look to that 
file 
(currently supported) or even if you hand entered an IP, you'd have a way to 
associate 
a name with it so you don't forget which is which...

I was thinking it may be hard to manage these inline in the interface, so we 
could 
add an extra window to manage these associations.  If you have ideas on how the 
interface should be implemented, all ideas are welcome. Code, mock-ups, 
discussion...

Cheers,
