The first DVCS I used was darcs, because I wanted to contrib to a project using it. Next was hg, because it seemed very nice for my needs. Now I'm using git, for various reasons of my own. I don't think I'm all that different from others out there, in that I'd heard of DVCS and heard many of the options, then was prompted to try one so that I could mess with an open source project, then found which one I personally like. Git is only synonymous with DVCS to people who barely know about DVCS, because it's used for some high profile projects. If that success causes some manager to pick git over svn then the world is a slightly better place.
- StavrosK 16y agoThat is not the issue at all. Git's popularity is great, sure, but this is an issue of semantics. The things the author mentions are not specific to git, they're common to all DVCSes. People will pick git up because other people use it, not because the term DVCS has been annihilated.
