Well git was a tool built for bazaar style development. If you’re a closed group of trusted developers, I think fossil is a better solution. Fossil comes with issue tracker, forum, chat and perfect offline support for all of them, and is much much simpler to use than git. Git in general is just very confusing for new users. Then there is also darcs as an alternative to git that has an innovative approach to patches that has advantages. Personally I think we have GitHub monoculture in part because git on its own is insufficient. People in general don’t like the email flow (though personally I love it).
