Good point Quinn. I'll pose the question, how much would a person be willing to pay for 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?
I think Git support would be feature for a paid upgrade to Versions (if they wish to support both svn and git) IMHO. GitX is nice for commits and reviews...that's it. Same with GitNub (if not less). The other clients are just not....well, they are not Versions let me put it that way. Pico, Sofa....name your price for either a paid upgrade for Git support in Versions or an app dedicated for Git...I know I'll fork over the dough.
