(I'm not the same Walter, as you know already :) I urge everyone to get to know git. I admit, I could be prejudiced in git's favor just because it was the first vcs I learned after cvs, but git is going to gain market share just because Linus is who he is. I've now used svn (barf!), bzr (to track grub2), mercurial (to track thunderbird and firefox), and the ancient cvs (which is jumping head first into its grave). I omitted bitkeeper from the list because it's a closed-source product, but Linus has given credit to bitkeeper's creator for inspiring him to 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", unlike its competitors -- svn in particular, which has earned a very special place in my personal software hell.
