[TxMt] Re: Switching Git Branches and TextMate

[Scott Smith]

We use git for our repository, and I find that TextMate does a pretty good
job of switching between branches as-is.  Actually, git is doing all the
work, and TextMate is simply responding to (mostly) the disappearance and
modifications of files.

So, I know that you are asking for more below, but I thought it might be
useful to identify what's already out there, at least for git.
