git uses Bourne Shell, Tcl, Perl, which is harmful. And that is at the top. The rest is thing like, you have to get the entire repository, oh wait I changed my username now everything has to change, oh kool it has a bug tracking and wiki tool all in one, and what I must implement political games between distributions of XXX different mods for one simple tool?
More insane is implementing a git distribution than simple SFTP for a work. Security feature, like checksums and logs can be implement easily on the directory the SFTP server relies on.
>>11 Wikipedia does not have an article with this exact name. Please search for Fossil (software in Wikipedia to check for alternative titles or spellings.
>>5 GIT: GPL FOSSIL: BSD
I don't care about Fossil's other ``advantages'', this is a deal-breaker. I'm sticking with Git because I actually value my freedom.

Policy over technical advantage. How imbecilic can you get? >>16
So is math, according to Apple Inc. You might as well pray to your Masters and keep sucking cook. >>17
Waiting to see it.

You should check out Dragonfly. They use git, but it's probably unpopular enough to make up for that.
And it's definitely enterprise-ready: http://www.dragonflybsd.org/hammer/ HAMMER is designed for use on storage media greater than 50G.
>>5 Complex vs Intuitive Oh, it's that argument again.
Pile-of-files repository vs Single file repository I read that as "might be fast" vs "it's certainly either slow or corruption-prone". BTW on a Git repo after packing the bulk of the data is in a single file, plus a rebuildable index.
Uses "rebase" vs Immutable This is the buggiest argument of them all. I read it as "does what I tell it to do" vs "insufferable piece of shit that forces a certain way of doing things down your throat and heavily penalizes mistakes". That way of thinking reminds me of Subversion.
