I guess he just shouldn't sell it as a Version Control App, but only as a Repository Manager. So, the description: "Gitbox is a Git repository manager" is clearly saying that it is just a repository manager (what some people like to call a 'bow' depending on their mood) The subtitle of his app: "The missing version control on a Mac" raises (maybe too much) the impression that he has written a version control system.
