source / free software world - many projects are using it or planning to us=

it, both high-profile and lesser known ones. As a bonus for me I have been=

using git already as part of the OpenEmbedded project, and Erik is also ver=

familiar with it.

(to name two) certainly have many devotees. However we had to pick one, and=

git just seemed like the right one to us.
