Hey, anybody who wants to argue that BK is getter than GIT won't be
getting any counter-arguments from me.

The fact is, I have constraints. Like needing something to work within a
few days. If somebody comes up with a ultra-fast, replicatable, space
efficient SCM in three days, I'm all over it.

In the meantime, I'd suggest people who worry about network bandwidth try
to work out a synchronization protocol that allows you to send "diff
updates" between git repositories. The git model doesn't preclude looking
at the objects and sending diffs instead (and re-creating the objects on
the other side). But my time-constraints _do_.
