When TortoiseGIT runs in Linux as well - they will have caught up!
TortoiseHg works transparently in both and on Mac I believe. My customer base is 
mainly windows biased while I've been running on Linux here for some years now. 
I need both platforms to do the same thing - which Eclipse has provided for 
several years, but the DVCS camps still need to address. Windows GIT is 
something different from Linux GIT at the moment - which is probably all that is 
putting me off it. Actually when I was forced to used GIT the windows side 
simply did not work at all, so I HAD to use hggit to get anything!

hggit + Mercurial Eclipse + Eclipse means I could not care less what the target 
is EXCEPT that one can't write a project that is JUST the set of sub-modules 
that you want to pull together. IDEALLY - both GIT and HG would just pull stuff 
from which ever is providing a particular library? So say Smarty could be on one 
while ADOdb is on the other ... The core PHP code does not need to be so 
distributed, but being able to pull PECL modules from a number of sources to add 
to a core clone of the code could be useful?
