Of course, a lot of it is that git *is* much more powerful, much like the difference between a stickshift with a racing clutch (git) and a car with an automatic transmission (hg). So maybe one thing that would help git would be a stronger emphasis of cogito for those projects that don't need the full power of using git "straight up". Just a thought.... - Ted
