Google's moving from Perforce to Git? I dare say Git has won the DCVS war.

I don't think Perforce is an option for this code, as it's being made public. I didn't see the article say anything about changing their internal CVS.

Ah, good point. I should have specified "open-source DCVS war."

FWIW, Perl has been in Perforce forever, and it's an open source project. But Perforce sucks, so it's being migrated to Git.

Not all of Google (yet), but there has been some significant lobbying for the use of git inside Google in the past by Linus himself.

If you want to learn more about git and the motivation behind it, then I really recommend watching the linked video. I find it quite entertaining.

Yeah, because Linus is really impartial on the matter ;-)
