> I disagree that Git's biggest flaw is its lack of scalability. Cases where git needs to scale tend to be isolated to companies that have the manpower to build a finely-tuned replacement (see: MS, Google). I would say that the sole thing git was developed for, the Linux Kernel, is (starting to be) painful to work with when using git.

The Linux Kernel is big, but it's not likely as big (in terms of lines of code or pick your metric) as Google or Microsoft repositories. Maybe the kernel is just starting to feel that pain? Honestly asking.. Do you speak from some level of authority that the Linux kernel is stretching the boundaries of git? Or are you just saying that more speculatively? What is the painful part?
