Star Perl 5 Completes Move to Git
Linked by Rahul on Mon 22nd Dec 2008 22:28 UTC
General Development The Git distributed source code management system has won over another major project, Perl 5. The Perl Foundation has announced that they have completed moving the source code of Perl 5 from Perforce (proprietary SCM in use by other projects including FreeBSD) to Git and are now opening the system up for developer use. Git is the open sourced source code control system created by Linus Torvalds to manage Linux development. The move to Git gives developers equal and easier access to the Perl source code and the distributed nature of git will allow developers to work on experimental changes to the language more easily.

Rejecting Git because Linus Torvalds wrote it would be some seriously deficient thinking. Besides, this page: http://wiki.freebsd.org/GitConversion, shows that was serious work is or was being done to move Freebsd to a git repository.

Have a look at the CVS vs Git performance comparisons at the bottom of the page.
