Slightly off-topic: why does git have such a near-monopoly on VCS? Mozilla might use something different, but I haven't come across a new project that used something other than git in at least years.
Usually there are at least a few choices with different compromises. Browsers, OSes, languages, editors, all have multiple actually popular choices.
Does git win because of the decentralized, everyone-has-a-local-repo aspect? Or the staging area, which I understand other VCSes don't have? Or just speed or reliability? Or just being in the right place at the right time?
