I remember there being some urgency to move away from BitKeeper because some counter (like a 16-bit file version number that got incremented on every check-in of the file, or something like that) was about to overflow, and only the non-free version allocated more bits for the counter. That was why Git had to be thrown together in just a few weeks. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
