I just stumbled across this page, dated 2003, which foreshadows a couple of the decisions Linus has made for git:
http://ydirson.free.fr/en/software/scm/vc.txt Here are the parts that particularly caught my eye: "what's so special about files ?" where the author suggests that existing SCM systems are so blinded by the tradition of file orientation that they can't see that there might be alternatives. "As a goodie we can even note that moving a file inside the hierarchy has become exactly similar as moving a code statement." where the author recognizes that renames are merely a special case of code moves. His implementation ideas are quite different from git, but I thought it was pretty cool to find that someone was thinking about these ideas a couple years ago.
