I've been looking for good GIT tools for VIM. GIT is becoming more and more popular in the open source world. It seems like everyone is moving away from subversion to GIT and good VIM integration is much neeeded.

In its original form it only supports SVN, CVS, GIT and SVK, but you can install the following plugin which adds Hg support to VCSCommand.

Analogously, git is a decent content-addressable tree storage. Someone just needs to write a command line wrapper for it, and provide english localization for the error messages.

i think your quote was directed at Emacs not Vim

Oh, really? You are so sharp.

I hasn't tried this one for Vim, but I found that command-line Git is quite easy to learn and fast. I have extensively used GUIs for Subversion, but that is not required anymore with Git ;) .
