GIT support

[math]

Yes I know, the GIT-Diskussion is currently wide stretched. But especially the possibility to have a revision control system without any server (on any of your local folders only on one's fingers click) could be a benefit even for non programmers.

For all of you unfamiliar with GIT. Here some links

Bah, i'd rather have Bazaar than GIT, and someone else would want Hg ;-)

I like Bazaar as it is all Python based, not a heady C/perl/other mix like GIT.

I think the idea of integrating with a dCVS would be awesome for a File Manager; getting native versioning of files (managing files through time, not just place!) and a nice UI to manage it without needing a server ala Subversion would rock. But it is a pretty esoteric feature.

Yes, time machine is one way for versioning, but it fails to benefit from being able to choose *when* to commit and comment on those commits. And I don't think Forklift even integrates with Time machine (haven't tested it!) yet?
