I think it would be a smart move to have a team of core - contributors
working on a single fork.
The team would set some targets to shoot for / goals and this would
help reduce duplicate efforts. Don't like the goals or targets? Then
fork it. This would force daily pulls / pushes to reduce merge
conflicts but could accelerate 'concentrated' efforts. I'm not talking
about everyone going and doing what ever they like, there would be
some direction. One fork to rule them all.

There are currently 176 forks of gitx.

One suggestion/feature request I have is to suck in the network api
data and then expose this in a ScrollView inside gitx as in the
network graph. Also, side note, can't they open source the drawing of
the network graph? Surely this could be built 1000 times better with
some flash.

curl http://github.com/pieter/gitx/network_meta | jsonpretty

Here's the network API
