This is (a) absolutely shocking, and (b) utterly fantastic!
If MS had tried to make a DVCs to compete with git, they would have always been third-fiddle (to git and Mercurial, and possibly others). But they could still have made money selling it to all-Microsoft shops.
Instead, they acknowledged the situation and incorporated git support!
This is so right, so beneficial to their customers, and yet so completely opposite to what I expected them to do!
I must give credit where credit is due ... fantastic decision, Microsoft!
