In the past, the best IRC client I could find for OSX was Colloquy [http://
http://colloquy.info/]. It's not perfect, but I remember it being quite
good in the past.I know you would rather not run a separate IRC client, but
Adium really isn't an ideal solution right now, so you might find it better
using Colloquy. You can also then hide the chat window (Cmd+H) rather than
minimizing it.

For message logs, you can always just look at the logs on the Cactus
website.

Another thing which might be useful would be to have commit messages
automatically posted to IRC whenever a commit is made.
