Re: [Census] So who uses git?

Fortunately, there are very few people involved with any specific piece
of the X.org distribution; there's really only one or two people
actively developing the X.org core server, so that part of the migration
will be easy. Our users will be stuck, but there aren't many of them
either, and git makes just sucking the current bits pretty easy. 

Not under Windows (bleh), but it's support for Cygwin is getting better
and better.

I use git in cygwin for a project with more then 17k files (almost 6M lines).
It's real slow on ntfs (on 3.2Mhz PIV!), PITA on fat, and has some hiccups now
and then (of the kind: "windows unexpectedly does not have feature X, which
everything else has" or "windows broke a 20-year-old feature Y").

But its more intuitive and more powerful than any alternatives here (Perforce,
SVN and CVS come to mind).
