Kudos to @fogwraith for stumbling onto it. If you intend to write code on Mac OS, there's a new software that should prove helpful: Amend.

In the author's words:

Quote
Amend is a self-contained revision control system that I wrote to keep track of source code changes while working on other programming projects on my Macintosh Plus.

It is written for System 6, though it will probably run on System 7+ but I have not tested it.

Amend 3.6 has been released:

Quote from: Amend website

Changes in this version:

- Add Command+W keyboard shortcut to cancel and close committer window

- Fix launching Desk Accessories when Amend is in the foreground

- Center dialog windows on larger displays, limit the size of Amend windows to roughly 80 characters of code

- Disable "Apply Patch" menu option as it is not yet ready for production and was previously enabled by mistake

- Change internal project structure to allow building with THINK C's default ANSI C library, instead of requiring a custom library


There is also: http://amendhub.com/

Which is the repository for Amend!

Another update for Amend, bringing it up to 3.7.1:

Changes in this version:

* Fix a bug that sometimes caused a crash after the diff/commit window closed after producing a large diff and using a lot of memory

* Fix bug when exporting an amendment as a patch where the suggested filename was bogus

* Fix bug that caused a system lockup on some machines with slower disks; thanks to Valtteri Koskivuori for helping locate and fix this bug

* Show progress window when opening repositories since the process may take a while

* Add resource to allow MultiFinder to correctly open a repo from double-clicking a .repo file when Amend is already running (thanks to Steve Crutchfield)

* Properly update scrollbars when cutting or pasting in edit and commit window text fields


The new version can be downloaded from here.

Very cool to see further development, love it too!

Very tempting project, but too bad the website requires https.

He actually added http support some time ago (and I changed my link in the initial post). It's working fine via http now.
