"Nevertheless" (two "s").
BTW, I wouldn't call the level of documentation "Medium" when compared
to any commercial SCM. How can they earn more than "a little", when
compared to any opensource program?

I read this as: "Git requires all these programs for builtin
commands". Which is a bit confusing. Just drop "(builtin)"?

"prebuilt" (with "t"). Maybe remove ", but prebuilt" completely?

You forgot bundles (aka SneakerNet).
Again, compared to everyone else it is "vastly superior" :)

"binaries": MinGW and Cygwin. And it is definitely "excellent" by the
standards of the site.
