Re: GIT vs Other: Need argument

From: Marcin Kasperski <hidden>

Let me add some salt. At the moment, there are at least two immediate 
show-stoppers
for using git in many organizations:

a) Windows are unsupported
b) Learning curve is too steep. Unclear relationship git-vs-cogito makes 
it even worse.

Third is also very likely:

c) Lack of reasonable subproject support (plus detailed permission model).

 From tools similar to git, Mercurial performs significantly better (at 
least it works
on Win and is easy to learn, although some GUI would be needed in most cases
before it could be truly implemented).

PS I am in related pos, long years ago I introduced CVS to my org - 
replacing
CMS on VMS, RCS on Unix and manual copies on Win, now I am sensing 
possibilities, but...

PS2 I am not sure whether git aims to handle corporate cases, or even 
whether it should,
those remarks are addressed rather to those who consider using it in 
such situation, than
to those who wrote it.
