That is your very colored view about it, that automatically declaresnon-gits stupid. However in the last discussion we showed you various faqs (like from LLVMand FreeBSD) that mirrored the FPC core teams.
One question if I may. Subversion has revision numbers like 12345, and it's comparatively easy to query that and build it into a piece of software's version information. It's also trivial for a developer to look at the revision that he's currently working with, to say whether it's older or newer than revision 12345, and to get a log of what the relative changes were by /only/ knowing the revision number.
Now I don't deny for a moment that Git has its advantages for distributed working. But am I correct in my understanding that it has nothing that maps directly onto the monotonic revision list of traditional VCSs including Subversion?
