I would love a GIT app as well. Unfortunately I think the nature of
GIT is such a vast paradigm shift from SVN, this not something you
could just tag into Versions and make it work well
It needs to be a standalone app, and given the previous comments about
forced open sourced, it looks like we
A good idea in theory, but SCM systems behave differently enough
(distributed SCMs such as git, doubly so) that it would be quite a
feat to create and use a plugin system that supports all (or even
many) different SCM's with an acceptable degree of functionality and
polish. I really think
I understand where the other posters are coming from, but thought I'd
chime in as well. I'd have no problem paying full price for a versions

having a Git App that is of the same quality of Versions?
I'll pay another 39 pounds for a Git client app. Who wouldn't?

Not gonna happen — there are already threads on this. The paradigms of
centralized and decentralized version controls systems are radically
