Not tracking namespace accurately is Git's biggest weakness and would most probably be BK's best argument for getting a tryout. With Git, renaming a file and editing it at the same time tends to make a mess of the history and cause much pain. You can say just don't do that, but I say it happens, and it should just work.

That and a UI that is uniform and sub-modules that work correctly and a system that doesn't let you do things that mess up your data. Oh and blame that is fast:

  $ time bk annotate slib.c | wc -l
  18508
