  Sorry, I'm late to this, but did anyone mention the GUI issue yet?  
I'm not really a fan of using the command-line for each check-in,  
check-out etc. While I thing distributed version control is great,  
that would really annoy me. Are there any Mac GUIs available for Git,  
Bazaar, or whatever you're aiming to use in the future that are  
usable? Currently, I'm happily using SmartSVN, so I'm not really  
noticing most of the pain of SVN, so I'd prefer if we stayed with SVN  
so I could merge in my changes occasionally, and more easily.

  That reminds me: how am I supposed to add my changes in? Do you want  
a patch, or can I get commit access? We've added a bunch of delegate  
methods, improvements to the update notification window (including  
support for notifying about paid updates), and modified version  
comparison, and fixed oodles of bugs. It was to the last released  
version, so I'll probably have a bunch of work ahead of me, especially  
after the great refactoring you just did, but I'd like to give back to  
you guys and merge our code together.

Cheers,
