At the moment, there are at least two immediate show-stoppers for using git in many organizations: a) Windows are unsupported b) Learning curve is too steep. Unclear relationship git-vs-cogito makes it even worse. Third is also very likely: c) Lack of reasonable subproject support (plus detailed permission model). From tools similar to git, Mercurial performs significantly better (at least it works on Win and is easy to learn, although some GUI would be needed in most cases before it could be truly implemented). PS I am in related pos, long years ago I introduced CVS to my org - replacing CMS on VMS, RCS on Unix and manual copies on Win, now I am sensing possibilities, but... PS2 I am not sure whether git aims to handle corporate cases, or even whether it should, those remarks are addressed rather to those who consider using it in such situation, than to those who wrote it.
