Well, I would if it were searchable...

I come from a different perspective.  While I understand that we
don't want to constantly revisit decisions, it's not helpful either
to never revisit them.

That's true of practically everything.  Yet it is also true that
some systems are better than others.  Git is particularly good in
the area of branching and merging which seems to me to be a core
part of what an SCM system is.

I certainly don't want to cause unnecessary frustration.  I'm just
raising the question.  If the community decides it's been settled
for now, then that's what we've decided.  But I don't think it's
good to completely close down the possibility of alternatives
either, especially if new information becomes available.
