I disagree with you. I am personally very happy with the current support in
TextMate for version control and remote editing. I use Subversion, and
don't see any value in moving my SFTP access from Interarchy to TextMate.

Hopefully I've satisfied your criteria of posting on the features you've
requested. I don't personally care about them, and those features being
added won't influence anyone I know, either.

Instead of posting a $20K bounty for a duplicate of TextMate (good luck
with that), perhaps you could find a version control consultant, and pay
them $2K (1/10th) to help you migrate from CVS to Subversion...?

It will probably read like it, but I'm really not trying to be an asshole
here. There are clearly features you would like to see, but they are not my
features, and you asked for others' perspectives.

And there are work-arounds (CVS->SVN) that will bring you many other
benefits besides integrated support in TextMate. I really do mean that as a
helpful suggestion.
