Out of curiosity, why did you stop working on gitx? I love gitx and use brotherbard's branch for the easier remotes amongst other features.

Second. I use GitX daily, it's been great!

I'm going to guess it's the same reason as always, a desire to not donate night and weekend time to that particular project anymore.

That's pretty close. In reality, I started working at a company where I was a fulltime Cocoa programmer. Working on a similar project in my free time just didn't seem that attractive anymore.

Have you considered "blessing" another branch, adding a supplimentary commiter or pulling in changes from one of the other branches so that the mainline is more up to date with a compiled binary? In any event I appreciate your tool and thank you for doing it!

It's probably my ignorance of github but there really does not seem to be a great way to pass the torch on or see what the other forks have done without going into each fork.
