Git helped us out a lot in that it tracks content, not files. So where one person might do some cleanup that included renaming some files, and another might make some changes to the same files our previous source control system either choked or just ignored the changes.<p>Also, we were spending a very large amount of time waiting for merges to complete. Minutes. Lots of them. Git is lightning fast, and we spend a lot less cycles waiting (or context switching).
