Well, I guess I can't give a real solid answer since I've never used Rational and I'm only vaguely aware of its capabilities. However I think the answer is "no". My personal belief is that the filesystem abstraction isn't a good fit to be the main interface to an SCM, especially git. That's why I'm currently working on just visualizing the contents of the git repository and I'll add features on top of that as they seem to make sense. -Mitch
