They have distinct paradigms in how to deal with data in the repo. They have in common that are distributed VCS but that is all. In order to use git to its full potential (cheap branching, a branch-per-feature development workflow, easy forking, security auditable history, fast merging) it would be necessary to completly forget about MC and to start from zero with a solution for smalltalk but using git model/workflow in mind. A simple adaptor won't be using smalltalk capabilities nor Git ones to its full potential and will not get enough traction to survive.

Re: [Pharo-project] SqueakSource down... again

FWIW, Git is a very generic system. There's no reason we couldn't write a storage adapter for MC that puts the repo in Git. Git only knows about objects, and the versions thereof. We could easily have Monticello on top of git. I'm not sure I think it's a good solution, but it sounds like something fun to hack on, if someone wants to join me.

But the problem is that we have no alternatives, and if we want some, we have to build them :). It's not just about complaining and waiting for the others to solve our problems.
