When the Linux kernel switched to git lots of performance testing was done. With large projects the existing systems were just too slow. Some have improved since but git has just got faster... The major problem with git from a freenet pov is that it is unix only so far. There is Mercurial (http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/index.cgi) which was started at the same time as git with the same goals. There is a windows version and it is being used by the Xen project. From what I understand its storage model is not quite as freenet friendly as (unpacked) git. Either of these managers would make distributed development easier.
