Git is as revolutionary as Unix pipes (2008)
There are two kinds of articles about DVCSs: (1) git, hg, bzr are all better than whatever you're using now; (2) git is completely revolutionary, a whole new paradigm.<p>This is, of course, the latter sort. I'm wondering why hg, etc. are never called "a whole new paradigm". I've used all three. Clearly, hg & bzr are extremely similar, while git works a little differently (the staging area, the differing semantics of "add", etc.). But I don't see that git has significantly more awesomeness than the other two.<p>Am I missing something?
