It seems counterproductive to be tied to git for the distribution part.
At the risk of alienating some people… I believe Git is going to win the DVCS wars.
At the risk of alienating myself, I think there is a faulty assumption here. I see no reason to believe that there is going to be a clear cut single "winner" with DVCS. The systems clearly differentiate themselves. Quality of windows OS support, performance, and learning curve are just a few examples. If the future turns out as I expect, choice of DVCS is going to be similar to a choice of vim or emacs - mac or windows.
Github is really good. However, my brain cannot support the 5 billion commands of Git. I use Mercurial. I think Boost using Git is good because it will force me to learn Git properly. Sohail PS: Emacs
