Personally I think Git is not a good design. And the reason is simple, to access the files of variant revisions we have to use a specialized tool: `git`. Thus all the files are hidden away behind what is essentially a secondary file system. Yet the primary file system itself is (or should be) sufficient. Eventually I expect someone will make a new version control system that combines the advantages of git with the primacy of the file system in the way SVN utilizes it. That would be ideal.

How does this differ from a user branch in svn?
