No, you _do_ miss the point here. You might _think_ that they work perfectly, but with revision control you want to have _exactly_ the same setup. You want to be able to go back to a certain _revision_ (including the then-current firmware).

I _know_ older code will work with new binaries. I know because i've done it many times and the application is the sort that is not going to forgive any frivolity.

Unfortunately this is very specific to what i'm doing and does not apply for 99.99% of what people usually need.

And that's what you don't want.  So git is not for you.

I use git for SCV from day one. It's great. I was just thinking aloud about something i've stumbled upon. ;-)
