What's New
Version 3.0.5:
New:
- Branch Manager: the hiding of seperate entries for tracked remote branches can be disabled by setting smartgit.git.hideTrackedRemoteBranchesulse (in smartgit.properties)
- Log: closing the Commits tool window is not prevented
- Refresh (Linux): a notification is shown if file-monitoring does not work due to inotify limits
- Submodule handling: system property "smartgit.submoduleUpdate.useGit" introduced which will invoke "git submodule update" as part of SmartGit's submodule-updating-procedure; invoking this command is e.g. necessary to honor "submodule.$name.update" in .git/config
- various commands: in case of failure, the error dialog is shown immediately and the refresh triggered at the same time
- Branch Manager (SVN): certain remote branches were not displayed
- Compare: internal error quickly performing take-block actions
- Commit:
- could not commit files with leading minus in name, e.g. "
- foo.txt"
- SVN: when committing from cherry-picking state, untracked files were shown as being included into the commit
- Conflict Solver: internal error deleting lines
- Edit Last Commit Message (SVN): cleared the cherry-pick meta information
- few GUI-related internal errors, e.g. when closing a window while commands were still running
- http-protocol: in case of authentication failure, password was not invalidated
- Linux: on KDE the tool window sizes were not remembered reliable
- Log, Cherry-Pick (SVN): irritating dialogs when cherry-picking unpushed commits
- Log, Details tool window: scrolling by clicking the up/down arrows on the scrollbar was very slow
- Log in dialogs, e.g. Merge: internal error invoking Copy if multiple lines were selected
- OS X: SmartGit did not start with Java 7
- Pushable Commits: were not updated correctly after having pushed outside SmartGit
- Refresh:
- possible internal error for bad encodings in file names in .git/index
- repositories with missing core.repositoryformatversion could not be scanned
- Linux: could be extremely slow (because all file contents were checked)
- Windows: .gitignore and .gitattributes were not read with UTF-8 for msysgit >=1.7.10
- Windows: files were displayed as modified if core.filemode=true
- SVN: problems with tags or branches ending with a period
- tables: toggling checkbox columns using space bar did not inform listener
Version 3.0.5:
New:
- Branch Manager: the hiding of seperate entries for tracked remote branches can be disabled by setting smartgit.git.hideTrackedRemoteBranchesulse (in smartgit.properties)

- Submodule handling: system property more...

It is probably the best GIT client for Windows.
However on Mac there is a much better alternative (and full featured) called SourceTree.

It has all the features one can want. It's not, like some other Git clients, a simple shell over a standard commandline interface, but adds its own smartness on top of it.
I also like the fact that I can configure viewer and comparison tools to be used for particular file types. E.g, for my REALbasic project, I can assign Arbed as the viewer, and for other text files I use BBEdit.
Just like with SmartSVN, it's always been 100% reliable and stable for me. And the developers are responsive and helpful, usually within the same day.
If I had to complain about something, it'd be the user interface sometimes not following proper Apple guidelines. Sometimes a modal window doesn't appear like one (it appears like a doc window), and similar little things. Nothing of a problem, just a sad little result of this app being in Java, and Apple's Java support lacking (i.e. shame on Apple, not on the SmartGit developers here!).
Certainly give this tool a good trial run. It works well, is well maintained, and you can't beat the free personal license.

Anyone who overlooks this because it's a non-cocoa client should give it another chance, you're only losing out yourself.

Sure, one could hope for a native cocoa app as much featured as SmartGit is but don't be fooled by the fact it is a Java application. It works fine and even looks good.

Looks like a Java app, though - shame it's not native Cocoa :(
