FWIW Linus' snotty attitude towards existing VCSes kept me away from git
for a long time.

Hmno... my main argument for using git is the way it does branching and
merging.
In fact one reason _not_ to use it is the opposite of "fast". That
reason is that it is so dog slow on Windows. My old debian PII 233MHz
home network "server", outperforms my 64bit, 8 core monster at work on
git operations (the operations I regularily use, ie. git-fetch,
git-status, git-gc, git-add, git-commit, git-push).

People keep lumping dVCSes together, but the distinguishing feature for
git isn't that it is a dVCS, but the way it does branching and merging.
It's really quite, quite, clever.
