"If Linus himself doesn't think that Git works well for a unified project the size of FreeBSD or KDE, who are we to argue?"

Sure is a big departure from that git presentation he gave at Google were he was basically saying anyone who doesn't use git is necessarily a clueless retard.

I watched it on google video and even then he admitted that large projects need to be split. Funny part is that Mercurial is int he same boat - they also do not allow partial checkouts.

Where I work we 80Gb trees (sans history, that is) and idea of everyone syncing the whole 80Gb on all of their machines quickly kills any discussions around alternative source controls.
