I never said it’s the only reason to use git. However, it makes things like SOX change control easier because you can pass the commit ID around as a shorthand for a known state of a repository that is, practically, a UUID. Similarly, as a single developer, it means I can verify repository backups by checking that all the repositories have the same branches and that the head of each branch has the same commit ID.
