I'm a CVS user who was not seduced enough to migrate my projects to
Subversion, but now I'm migrating to Git, because I really liked its
features. I cannot agree with you about the technical merits, user
interface etc, but agree with the "fashion" thing.
Please forget the "Rails loves Git neons" for a moment, remember that
Git is used to keep projects like the Linux kernel and take a look
again on it. I think it would be cool (ops) to have the Ruby source
code on a git repository.
