Unlike CVS and Subversion, git is big enough that it won't just be replaced. What comes next needs to be incredible to even have a chance. Personally, I think the next big VCS will have the ability to handle all files, including binary ones. (See https://gavinhoward.com/2020/07/decentralizing-the-internet-and-other-ideas/#version-control-for-binary-files https://gavinhoward.com/2020/07/decentralizing-the-internet-... .) As a bonus side effect, this would probably give that VCS the ability to handle source code by semantics.
