"less power" definitely depends on what you value when comparing Git against real databases, e.g. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/984707/what-are-the-file-limits-in-git-number-and-size https://stackoverflow.com/questions/984707/what-are-the-file...

Although I've not seen anything that offers a DAG for valid-time histories yet :)
