Indeed, a DVCS like Git or Hg does not fit everyone. And neither do
centralized systems like Subversion. Choice is good.

However... I found some passages troubling for Git, e.g.:

---snip---
Git is so amazingly simple to use that APress, a single publisher,
needs to have three different books on how to use it. It’s so simple
that Atlassian and GitHub both felt a need to write their own online
tutorials to try to clarify the main Git tutorial on the actual Git
website. It’s so transparent that developers routinely tell me that
the easiest way to learn Git is to start with its file formats and
work up to the commands.
---snap---

We have heard this sort of feedback for years. But we have been unable
to adequately write our own documentation or clean up our man pages to
be useful to the average person who doesn't know why the --no-frobbing
option doesn't disable the --frobinator option to the
--frobbing-subcommand of git frob.  :(

http://git-man-page-generator.lokaltog.net/ shouldn't exist and
shouldn't be funny. Yet it does. :(
