Although I I haven't been hit by Git in my simple daily usage, I must say that I moved (for all of my own stuff) to Fossil considering that if it's good-enough for Sqlite project, it should be for me as well. Here is nice quote from the Richard Hipp (author of Fossil & Sqlite) which justifies my decision nicely: "My argument goes like this: Every developer has a fixed number of "brain cycles" to use on any given day. Some of this brain-energy must be expended for overhead, such as finding ones way to the coffee machine, or operating the version-control system (VCS). The fewer brain-cycles one has to spend on the overhead functions, the more there are available for us in writing code. The goal of Fossil is to require fewer brain-cycles. Fossil isn't perfect. I'm sure there are things that can be done so that it requires less effort. But I believe it is better than monotone, bzr, or hg, and way better than git. Of all of the VCSes out there today, surely Git requires more daily brain-cycles than any other. I'm not talking about just the learning-curve here. Git requires more thought and attention even after you know it well. And that extra thought and attention that you devote toward operating Git could be better spent working on your project." Maybe some food for thought for SCons devs...
