> In my 18 years of professional dev I’ve never actually used Git professionally. Git is for hobby side projects. Perforce and Sapling are for adult projects. I have encountered Perforce, Mercurial, and git professionally throughout my career. Considering the prominence of git in the market, it must be obvious that git does some combination of things right. I myself have found git to be solid where the other salient choices have had drawbacks. The use of git it so widespread that it is hardly a local minimum.
