FYI Eric S. Raymond is working on a paper where all dVCS systems will be
compared. The Emacs dev team is waiting for his conclusions in order to
decide what system should be used instead of the actual CVS.
But there is more to consider than technical benchmarks since RMS also
insist on preferring a tool that is part of the GNU project. Of course
this doesn't affect the choice of a tool for Org, and git sounds like a
good one to me.
