On the other end, GitLab (a provider of Git) is now offering package management.

Are the 2 products/technologies converging?
Hypothetically, if they are, is Git better than SMP/E, or vice versa?
That is... is tomorrow's SMP/E going to be "Not Your Father's SMP/E", having 
stood the test of time, and possibly better at version control / package mgmt 
than Git?

Again, I just want to hear folks' thoughts on this topic..


From what I’ve seen, the package management offered by GitLab and GitHub are 
distinct products from their git support.

I would still say the use cases for git (version control during development) 
and a package manager like SMP/E or rpm or the Git* offerings (managing 
dependencies in deployed software) are different enough that viewing them as 
somehow competitive would be a mistake.
