Hi guys,

I too have been thinking about a GUI for OS X, but you checked out
some of the approaches that other distributed SCMs take on GUIs, e.g.

http://digilander.libero.it/mcostalba/ for git

or

http://guitone.thomaskeller.biz/ for monotone

which both work on OSX.

One commonality these have is they run on PyQt's bindings, which works
IMHO quite well cross platform (depending on what you include in your
platform list).

Considering that an advantage of hg over git is the fact that it runs
cross platform, wouldn't you want to keep this in mind whilst hacking
a GUI?

Added to this, both PyQt and hg are python based, so you wouldn't have
any foreign calls.

HTH,

Ben

Have you guys
