I recently discovered GitX-dev, yet another fork of GitX. Unlike GitX(L), this
fork seems to be active. I've been using it lightly for about a week, and it
seems about the same as GitX(L), but it is faster for large repositories.
http://rowanj.github.io/gitx/
The web page lists these claims to fame:
+ Notably better performance on large repositories
+ Reliable in-app updates thanks to Sparkle
+ Significantly reduced (and shrinking!) use of git command-line tool in
favour of direct use of libgit2 and ObjectiveGit.framework
+ Lower, more regular memory footprint due to porting to Objective-C
Automatic Reference Counting
+ Improvements to the command-line gitx tool
Only for Mac OS X 10.7 and up.
Eric.
