Git-aware XML Diff Support?

I've started using Git for version control wherever possible. Looking at the help, it looks like there is support for SVN version diffing, but nothing for Git. Have you considered providing at least Git-aware differencing, if not a full Git client analogous to the SVN client?

I have configured oXygen diff as a diff tool in Git with [difftool "oxygen"] cmd = \"/Applications/oXygen XML Editor 15.0/diffFilesMac.sh\" \"$LOCAL\" \"$REMOTE\" prompt = false [diff] tool = oxygen And when I run e.g. git difftool src/main/plugins/org.dita.htmlhelp/build_dita2htmlhelp.xml It launches oXygen diff.

That works nicely. Cool. I didn't really expect SyncroSoft to build a full Git client, although I'm sure that if they did it would rock. Cheers, E. On 8/22/13 1:11 AM, "Jarno Elovirta" <Jarno.Elovirta@citec.com> wrote:

Hi Eliot, As you've observed, Oxygen bundles an SVN Client, not just an SVN diff tool. If we were to provide Git support, it would probably be an entire Git client, not just the diff tool. As much as we would like to also provide support for Git, at this time we feel we should concentrate our resources on XML related features.
