Git is terrible at branching, constantly squashing and rebasing is not a feature but an annoyance. see fossil for how to do proper branching/merging/logging, by its very nature, Not to mention that by having the repository separate from the data, it forces you to organize it in a nice way (Mine look like Project/(repo.fossil, branch1/ branch2/ branch3/) You can achieve this with git now but I never had to think about it in fossil, its a natural consequence of the design.
