You don't.
For revision control you can use CVS, SVN or VSS if your tastes include MS. Git was born out problems with the Linus, "the Git's" attempt to adopt BitKeeper for the Linux kernel ~ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitKeeper http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitKeeper The only reasons I can think using Git would be if you are using Rails, developing OLPC or hacking on kernels.
The rules change of course if you are an individual hacker or a new startup as more and more software uses git. Plus you can use github.
