What would you suggest instead of git, if a hypothetical organization came and asked you which vcs to use other than git? Assume git interoperability is not necessary, to obviate the “we must be compatible with what our dependencies/upstreams use” argument.



My company uses Perforce, and while it's not perfect, it's more intuitive and has a comprehensive graphical user interface. Most importantly, once I learn how to do something with Perforce, I never forget it. That's not the case for me with git.

The merge tool works pretty well.

Also, my company has large repositories.


This. There are other options.


Subversion is still an excellent choice.
