Yeah, I had a meeting about this last week at work. We’re slowly doing the 
same, pushing all new projects to use tfs git, and give existing projects using 
vsts the option to convert if they wish.

Git is far better at managing developers working in remote locations, and as 
most of the software industry has already moved towards devs working remotely, 
it makes sense. There are very few big companies no longer using a distributed 
system such as git or mercurial. 

 

That fact that open source projects, which are inherently built on devs being 
remote, are still reluctant to move from a centralized to a distributed system 
seems archaic and self-detrimental. It’s a shame to hold the project back 
because a few devs are unwilling to move forward.

 

A distributed system can do everything a centralized system can do if you 
decide to model it in that way, and so much more if you decide to model it in 
other ways.

Unlike us, Microsoft probably doesn't care if a few of the developers would 
rather quit than switch. ;P

I didn't expect Microsoft to switch to Git sooner than us..
