Linus Torvalds discussing source control programs and GIT

[Ben Walton]

He's right. :)

There are corner cases where the file view is still better than
content view, but for 99.9% of the cases out there, managing file
content is much saner and far more powerful. If your project isn't
absolutely massive (it's not) in terms of file/directory count, using
something like subversion is not the right choice.

I personally prefer git as it's a real power tool, but mercurial would
also be a workable choice. Interestingly, it seems that git and
mercurial are the only two real choices left in the dvcs field...all
others seem to have fallen by the wayside.

Thanks
