I was in a touring band for a few years between roughly 2001-2004, during which time I was freelancing - literally coding in the van with my laptop and a GPRS card. My band was relatively email savvy, but I regularly met bands that didn't contain a single individual that was tech savvy. If they had band email or a Myspace page, it was usually run by a "manager". I found this phenomena sad and scary, but it really was a culture thing. I suspect it'd apply less to the electronic music folks, due to the inherent geek savvy required. However, tl:dr; I have a hard time picturing most of the musicians I've played with understanding the basic concepts of version control. Heck, I bet most wouldn't get it after the third explanation. Musicians aren't dumb, but they are usually hung-over. Conflict merging is not punk.
