Xcode: bzr & git...

[Gordon Tyler]

I think you'd be better off using a local bzr repository and the standalone
bzr tools. As Jelmer says, the current state of bzr-git interoperability is
pretty much cloning a local bzr repository from a (remote) git repository
and being able to push/pull commits.

To be honest, Xcode's git support isn't all that great. I prefer external
tools like Atlassian's SourceTree for committing, viewing logs, etc.
