As I explicitly mentioned, I don't want to question appropriateness of Git for fpGUI (or other particular projects). I only wanted to mention (in the context of notes about great advantages of Git, not in the context of your announcement about fpGUI) that this is a limitation currently and that people deciding on using this or that SCM should take this into their consideration. As a purely hypothetical example (_not_ trying to suggest that you wanted to advertise that!), if FPC decided to switch to Git now, I wouldn't be able to contribute any longer, because no (usable) Git client for OS/2 / eCS exists at the moment as far as I know.
