I suggest you ...

← Cornerstone

Leave Cornerstone Subversion-only client.

There many voices regarding adding Git support to Cornerstone.
I would strongly advise against it.

Git and SVN have different workflows, and trying to merge then inside a unified UI will be a complete mess.

It won't be good for users as well, as developer's focus will slip from making Cornerstone the best SVN client available, to making it decent Git & SVN client (which definitely won't work as well, given limited resources Zennaware has).

Somebody will eventually create Git workflow oriented client some day. And everybody will defiinitely like it more than a monstrous SVN-Git hybrid, trying to do both and not excelling at any.

So! Leave Cornerstone Subversion-only client! But perfect client at that.

thanks.

        Why can't I use my votes to subtract from those that have voted here? I understand people wanting to have Cornerstone be SVN only ... that's fine ... but make a Git version so that Git doesn't suck on a Mac.

        Even if Git has a different workflow than SVN it would be nice to have one client that does both (even if it presents either in different ways). Services like Beanstalk allow you to mix and match SVN and Git. having both is critical. But I guess I'll keep looking...

        Please, zenna, use your obviously great skills for making great software to create a git client!
        Cornerstone is so awesome, YOU CAN DO IT!

        Indeed, if there was a client as elegant as Cornerstone for git, it would be worth a look. So, if you have the resources, give it a try. But don't let the SVN movement crumble...

        What does this "planned" status mean for voting for it? I removed my vote because I don't expect this item ever to be "completed".

        The company I work for currently operates two large Subversion repositories. One of the big reasons I use Subversion is for discovery of code and review of code versions that I didn't write/maintain. There is some possibility that we will switch at least one of them to Git from Subversion.

        So if Cornerstone remains a Subversion-only application, does Zennaware anticipate creating a UI for Git as well (regardless of workflow issues)?

        That is a shame. I was hoping you would support git, even if it meant I had to buy a completely different application from you. I am ready happy with cornerstone but I want to switch over to git.
