      the thing about git is... it's really hard to get rid of it. Github uses it, various package managers use it, the sunk cost is enormous. and the fundamental design of it is fine. the only real problem is that it is incredibly user hostile, which turns out to not quite be enough!

        gamedev is actually kind of a special case, because we often need gigabytes of binary files to make our software, which *is* a weak spot of git. Plastic is up and coming, apparently it's nice?
