Plus it will save considerable download time. All this is very correct, but largely irrelevant. I considered Git for use in my company, (subversion is quite bad for handling lots of banches) and frankly: I decided against it because people here couldn't understand it. They have a hard time understanding Subversion (or CVS or any of it), and git is even 2 notches harder to understand. That and the fact that there is no decent GUI clinched the matter. Sometimes one must weigh the technical features against practical usage. I can have the best technical system of the world, but if I'm the only one understanding it - in my company - it is simply ruled out.
