Xcode also has Subversion support, but not Git support. I personally want that Git integration, because I actually use Git fairly often. But for them Windows users, I think we best stick with Subversion.

Subject: Re: [webkit-dev] Git Familiarity (was ChangeLog)


At least on Windows I use mysygit myself (http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/ ) From the project description: "Historically, Git on Windows was only officially supported using Cygwin. To help make a native Windows version, this project was started, based on the fork."


Still has the following problems:
1. No Windows integrated UI. Windows is very UI driven, and all of the development tools are UI based. Why should I open up a command line to do VCS stuff? I don't have to open up a command line now.

2. No Visual Studio integration. Subversion not only has TortoiseSVN, but there's AnkhSVN that lets you manage it entirely inside Visual Studio.

I'd vote against any VCS that doesn't match features provided by Subversion on all 3 platforms (Mac, Linux, and Windows). *nix devs might think opening up a command line to do some development is fine, but Windows devs aren't nearly as willing. Why, when all of the functionality is available from a UI? I can't think of any major feature of Subversion that isn't available from TortoiseSVN.
