One off the top of my head:

From my understanding, git has the entire repository locally. There's obviously going to be some instances where this isn't possible or desirable. For example, small netbook or mobile device with small storage or slow net connection, wants to participate in large project with massive repository history.

You can also only check out the history to a certain depth, if this is a problem.
