Are you sure Gity is the same thing as Gitty?

Gity (this app, by Aaron somthing) and Gitty (a different app, http://macsamurai.blogspot.com/2008/06/my-new-project-gitty...., by Colin Wheeler) have similar names, but I don't believe they are the same applications.

Check it yourself. Click the title and visit the site. Click the picture to view screenshots and around two images in, you can see the title of the application is "Gitty."

The "Gitty" in the screenshots is the name of the folder the repo is stored in, not the name of the application. Confusing choice on the authors part? Yup.

Ah, I see. Thanks for clearing that up. And here I thought I found an "Aha!" on the author.
