I'd recommend Postman for this.
It supports all HTTP verbs, not just GET, POST, PUT and DELETE. Some operations might require HTTP headers to be set (e.g. for authentication) and it supports that too.
You can supply a raw body for your request, or key-value pairs which Postman can transform into e.g. URL encoded form content.
It has a UI.
While it does ...

Probably a bit lower level than you're looking for, but cURL largely meets your requirements.
While it's primarily a library for use by other software, it has a command-line UI that's actually rather easy to use for most tasks.
It's 100% FOSS (using a permissive license).
It supports completely arbitrary HTTP request types. Obviously PUT and DELETE as ...

It depends on what you're used to.
I came to Git from a Perforce world and as such, found P4Merge the best. It is free and easy to setup with Git.
However, I soon found P4Merge limiting and quickly graduated to BeyondCompare, which is not free.
If you're new to merging, start simple and try P4Merge.
UPDATE: I have now stopped using Beyond Compare and use ...

The PUT (and DELETE) verb is used by the WebDAV protocol, so any WebDAV-compatible software fulfills your requirement. WebDAV support is widespread, for example every major OS supports it in its file browser, including the Windows Explorer.
(Additionally, there also exist extensions of WebDAV for managing contacts and calendar entries, e.g., GroupDAV, for ...

Have you tried Inkscape? It's free and seems to meet your requirements:
You cannot have anchored vertices, where one vertice of the first polygon automatically follows another vertice of the second polygon on translation
However, the vertices can be exactly aligned by each other with the snapping tools (see selected switches on the east toolbar)
You can ...

Free & Open Source - Yes and with a permissive, (LGPL compatible), licence.

If you can accept HTML5/JS as GUI then take a look at the Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF):
https://code.google.com/p/chromiumembedded/
The base CEF framework includes support for the C and C++ programming languages.
CEF supports javascript bindings and callbacks, so you can communicate asynchronously both ways between C <> JS.
Here is an example on ...

Try Git Extensions, a Git client for Windows that includes support for the features you are looking for.
Interactive rebasing:

By default, Git extensions sets the branch to rebase against to the
branch you are currently working on. So, unless you change that, there
is nothing to do and ...

As far as I know, there's only one app out there that meets all of your criteria. All of your requirements (reproduced below) describe pyrite, though it can do more.
"text area where I could paste text then encrypt or decrypt"
"should be able to sign and check signatures"
"Produces ASCII" (pyrite can do both)

A while ago, I've used ProFTPD, which is also recommended at AskUbuntu for offering a nice and user-friendly GUI:

There's quite a useful/fun one for Apache called Logstalgia, it's an Apache access log visualization programme. It's not too feature-rich, but rather useful.

I can certainly recommend Atlassian's SourceTree software for Windows. I've previously used TortoiseCVS, GitHub (and their Windows application), and just plain Git with the command line previously, and love how SourceTree makes the things that should be quick and easy with a button just that, while keeping the power of the git console just one click away: ...

If you want to minimize dependencies on the server, your best bet is sure to be enabling an SSL-only connection over the PostgreSQL protocol from your desktop/laptop. You can then use any software of your choice via the remote network protocol.
If you don't want to expose PostgreSQL to the wider Internet, even SSL-only with a limited range of permitted ...

Git itself ships with gitk to browse the repository (which includes showing diffs of stuff you've already committed) , gitgui and git difftool [which allows you to choose one of the merge tools present in your system]. What I personally use is Gitcola, which I find quite convenient:

Arch users. It contains package descriptions (PKGBUILDs) that allow
you to compile a package from source with makepkg and then ...

Geany
Cross platform. GPL licensed. Syntax high lighting. Actually a very light weight IDE - has buttons for "compile" "build" and such that can have specific actions set for appropriate file types/extensions.
