Yes, that's true git's main advantage is how widespread it is.

GNU Emacs decided to switch from bzr to git, but GNU as a whole doesn't have a recommended VCS yet. In GNU Octave we will keep using hg. I don't think the EFF is too public about which VCS they use.

I meant to type "GNU/FSF". I thought I caught myself and corrected the "EFF" bit. I knew I was going to write that. And damnit, I did.

But yes, I meant "FSF", not "EFF".
