"MC is not good enough" and "We should use Git" are a bit different thoughts.
MC's model of versioning stuff / changes representation is fairly ok However everything that leaves the image is deadly broken :D So the main issue here is the MC backends which are horribly inefficient and do not scale very well. Then there are of course issues in the image itself: - a merge browser that doesn't allow me to merge manually (that has to be improved) - a complete parallel structure for describing methods / classes ... - UI tools that literally are from the last century
If MC is not good enough we should improve it or create better tools, but (for me) Git seems to be a wrong direction for that. I've tried to explain in another message why.
Git is a storage mechanism which scales and opens up smalltalk to people which don't like images.
