Sure, but whoever got hooked on bk can't easily switch to something else now,
can they?

Probably. I didn't make this assertion. I was talking about people I actually
know. Of course a connection to Linux is not a connection to a novel distributed
biological organism with a synchronized opinion on every subject.

Are you sure it's better? AFAIK git doesn't even keep diffs but the whole pile
of versions. But hey - Linux has a tradition of wasting your disk space.
From the git documentation:
"For example the Mozilla repository is reported to be almost 12 GiB
when stored in SVN using the fsfs backend. The fsfs backend also
requires over 240,000 files in one directory to record all 240,000
commits made over the 10 year project history. The exact same history
is stored in Git by only two files totaling just over 420 MiB. SVN
requires 30x the disk space to store the same history."
