They might not be critical for the main development team, but they are an enormous boon to others maintaining patches / modified versions (like potentially me!). Case in point: rsync and Eclipse are still using CVS, but I import them into git myself so I can manage patches with StGIT; if the upstream project uses git, that's even better. > I don't really know what the current state-of-the-art is WRT GIT on > non-POSIX systems Yes, this is the only potential drawback that I can think of.
