Pro:
- Offline work (you can use diffs, you can commit) - Speed of operations compared to svn - No need to setup a server to work locally (encourages participation (focus on working first, then sharing later))
Cons:
- Cannot check out subpaths - Cannot lock files
Irrelevant for us (locking that is).
- Would require people to change their habits and learn new tools
Add: - No merge tracking for subtrees. Not necessarily a fatal disadvantage, but we do make quite heavy use of subtree merge tracking. Which is perhaps why our meta-data is such a mess. Git merging is in general saner, but might not match our current use.
