Perhaps I don't understand... yes, git is open-source-software, but are you saying that you're not permitted to run non-pay software at all at work? Or are you confusing git as an SCM versus hosted git services like git-hub? Git is an SCM just like CVS, SVN, or any other hundreds out there. One of the best things about it is it can be used locally without a server, and in fact can be used over the top of other SCMs. Yes, it's open source, but that doesn't make it bad. And anyone who thinks that using OSS is bad by definition needs a better understanding of OSS. And for those who don't understand OSS licenses _using_ it doesn't make the code/content you're keeping in it open source. Just the same as using CVS or SVN doesn't open your code/content, or using Linux as a server or desktop doesn't make your work-product on that computer open souce, or using Windows gives MS rights to your content/code. If you're simply concerned about opening private code to the public via using a service such as git-hub, simply don't. Instantiate a git repo over the directory you're working in. Don't push it anywhere. You get all the benefits of an SCM, but no server. If you need to collaborate with someone in your office, open that git repo to them via ssh into your box, or pushing to a shared drive where both of you have access, but is still secure as it is within your private network. And if your company is looking for an SCM solution for a team, by all means look into git and utilize a shared server _on_your_network_ to store trees that everyone needs to clone or pull from. This would be similar to running CVS, SVN, ClearCase, Mecurial, or whatever your chosen SCM is. In other-words, keep it internal. Sorry, we've now gone off topic, and this will be my last comment on this thread.
