I really like git these days, and I was initially stubborn, having grown up in the age of first cvs then svn. I design/implement core infrastructure and services for a large emergency services project. By nature the team that design and build it is especially conservative. It's only this past year I've been able to convince management that we should move to git because it offers advantages over the traditional tool (svn).

What does make me chuckle however is seeing git used as a drop in replacement for svn without using any of the advanced branching/merging features it offers. I find it funny to hear a devops youngster eschewing the benefits of git after hearing that <n> hip opensource projects use it, just to find that they use using it with a single tree (or bunch thereof), just continually committing everything to the master branch.

Just like people used to use cvs and svn.
