I urge everyone to get to know git. |

I admit, I could be prejudiced in git's favor just because it was the |
| 11 |
first vcs I learned after cvs, but git is going to gain market share |
| 12 |
just because Linus is who he is. |

I've now used svn (barf!), bzr (to track grub2), mercurial (to track |
| 15 |
thunderbird and firefox), and the ancient cvs (which is jumping head |
| 16 |
first into its grave). |

I omitted bitkeeper from the list because it's a closed-source product, |
| 19 |
but Linus has given credit to bitkeeper's creator for inspiring him to |
| 20 |
write git in the first place. (I barely remember using bitkeeper.) |

Maybe I just think like Linus, I dunno, but for me git "just works", |
| 23 |
unlike its competitors -- svn in particular, which has earned a very |
| 24 |
special place in my personal software hell. |
