Probably not.

The people who might notice are the old=time crappy commercial unixes,
but they are all dead by now. The kinds where 'cc' isn't even ANSI C,
it's K&R and you needed to pay extra for the "real" compiler.

But if those people still exist, they probably haven't figured out CVS
yet, and still use RCS or SCCS. Their brains would explode messily if
they tried to use git.
