The alternative to Git is Mercurial, though I've never used it so I can't vouch for it. I do think I've read that Git is much faster though, but it's generally accepted that Mercurial's UI is a lot better and more consistent.
AFAICT, all the other alternatives to Git really can't do the same stuff Git does (namely, being distributed).
- JonChesterfield 4y agoFossil is the one to look at.
- lmm 4y agoYeah, you're right, I didn't want to complicate my post but Mercurial does have a cleaner design. But ultimately they never had an impl that was fast enough to use back when it mattered (maybe they still don't). Speed is a feature, and an important one.
