I tried getting iFolder working on Macintosh.  I failed.  Too much work, not nearly enough reward for the effort.  Making Git work is simple, and that's two points in SparkeShare's favor.

That said, if I ever decide to drop Wuala for storage/sync then I'll switch to Unison.  Git is simply the wrong tool for that job.
