I mean git is also trustless and decentralised

  git is trustless to the extent of vc purposes. it is not trustless to the level of financial accounting. for example git has no concept of double spending, while in a blockchain there is (usually?) no concept of branching and merging. but you are right in that they are both based on merkle trees

    Double spending avoidance cannot happen without a financial incentive ie currency is what I meant
