I think that this is important that we do not think only in terms of git.
People will jump on the next cool and better because nicer versioning
system.
I think about fossil for example. I'm waiting for that. Because each
time I pair program with smart git users
I see how this is "simple". So I would really be against having git menu
in Pharo.
We should have an abstraction over the generic commands that a
decentralized versioning system should
offer.

We have the catalog. So how different it is.
AFAIK the catalog only manages loads of projects ... to make it a
"Project Browser" you would add menu items for committing/saving
projects (i.e., save all dirty packages and for git repos, do a git
commit after updating packages); viewing the diffs for all packages in
a project; and of course the load functionality ....
As I said somewhere else, I don't think that it is a major job to
implement a "Project Browser", but it is something that really needs
to be done for supporting git-based projects. There is a natural
1-to-1 mapping between a Metacello project and it's git repository and
as you can see in the Git menu below, there are a number of additional
git-specific functions that need to be supported ...

And yes we would to change packages in nautilus.

Haha, I certainly understand the lack of time/manpower ... Just in
case it wasn't clear, when I said "project browser" I wasn't talking
about replacing the code browser (Nautilus), but
replacing/augmenting the Monticello Browser - which should turn out
to be a much simpler undertaking --- "Project Browser" that manages
the projects within the image - load, save, changes, etc.:

I've been wondering no-one in the Pharo community has started building a "Project Browser" to
replace the "Package Browser" .... I've had a "project browser" in tODE for several years
now and you work with a manageble list of Metacello projects like the following:
Of course, we have that in mind. We would love to have it but lack of time /
manpower ...
We are not happy with the current browser (Nautilus). We could have something
really more powerful. It will come but we have other projects to achieve before
;)
If someone comes with a better browser, we would love to set it as default.
