By contrast, git is rather ubiquitous these days. There is literature galore. The spectrum ranges from the official manual to "Git: Version Control for Everyone" among the 20+ books dedicated to it on amazon.com. Want to build that hot open source project yourself everybody and their aunt is talking about? Chances are that would clone it from a git repo. I'd rather not switch to an exotic component in the infrastructure of the project. Geda has already hurt itself enough by going for an less than well known scripting language. ---<)kaimartin(>---
