I don't think I'd mind being called a Git fanboy.  I had already had
good experiences from the end-user side of things, and I've now had the
chance to do some low-level stuff with Git repositories.  The userspace
utilities allow you to do everything, and they are very easy to work
with.

I tried the same thing with Bazaar a while back, and it was an absolute
nightmare when you tried to get into bzrlib.  I don't know about hg, but
I've heard that it's not too well documented, either.

Anyway, I think Git is even more impressive once you look under the
hood.
