This comment demonstrates that you do not have any criticism at all regarding this project. While reading it I could only think of Visual Source Safe and Git, which I believe counters your entire premise.

Git was created basically because there wasn't an open source implementation of BitKeeper, and BitKeeper was unique in its function. If at all possible Torvalds would have stayed away from making Git (in fact he said so himself). This is different than reinventing a wheel with existing functionality. I don't see how VSS relates, since it's used for different things (like comparing Oracle to SQLite?)
