Heh.  :-)   Personally, I'm no big fan of git.  That does not
mean I'm hostile to distributed version control as such, just
that the implementation of it that is git has a bit too many
quirks for my taste.

I've use Bzr a bit, and it feels like it fixes the most annoying
things about git (primarily its unability to handle copies and
moves as first order operations, and the lack of normal version
numbers), while retaining most of the good parts.  But as Oystein
remarked, it doesn't seem to have quite so large a feature set
as some other systems.  Whether that is a problem in practice, I don't
know.
