I prefer my SCM integration outside of my editor or IDE as well. I don't need my IDE to get in the way and spend CPU cycles telling me what files I have changed. I complete something then pop over to git CLI or maybe a tool like SourceTree/Tower etc and check in that feature. I like it as a separate process, when I am in my IDE or editor I am focused on code and then when I am in my git CLI/client I can focus on repos.
In my opinion, SCM integration and plugins/extensions into IDEs/editors are mostly annoying and sometimes can lock up or lag editors like Visual Studio and especially MonoDevelop. I do lots of Unity and MonoDevelop's SCM integrations were always heavy and slow. Git/Mercurial/other SCM/repos plugins are usually the first thing I turn off in an editor.
