Mi sento come se tutto quello ho scritto fino ad ora fosse stato ignorato. :-/

Git is distributed version control system focused on speed,
effectivity and real-world usability on large projects. Its highlights
include:

About GIT

    * Strong support for non-linear development. Git supports rapid
and convenient branching and merging, and includes powerful tools for
visualizing and navigating a non-linear development history.
    * Distributed development. Like most other modern version control
systems, Git gives each developer a local copy of the entire
development history, and changes are copied from one such repository
to another. These changes are imported as additional development
branches, and can be merged in the same way as a locally developed
branch. Repositories can be easily accessed via the efficient Git
protocol (optionally wrapped in ssh) or simply using HTTP - you can
publish your repository anywhere without any special webserver
configuration required.
    * Efficient handling of large projects. Git is very fast and
scales well even when working with large projects and long histories.
It is commonly an order of magnitude faster than most other revision
control systems, and several orders of magnitude faster on some
operations. It also uses an extremely efficient packed format for
long-term revision storage that currently tops any other open source
version control system.
    * Cryptographic authentication of history. The Git history is
stored in such a way that the name of a particular revision (a
"commit" in Git terms) depends upon the complete development history
leading up to that commit. Once it is published, it is not possible to
change the old versions without it being noticed. Also, tags can be
cryptographically signed.
    * Toolkit design. Following the Unix tradition, Git is a
collection of many small tools written in C, and a number of scripts
that provide convenient wrappers. It is easy to chain the components
together to do other clever things.

Besides providing a version control system, the Git project provides a
generic low-level toolkit for tree history storage and directory
content management. Traditionally, the toolkit is called the plumbing.
Several other projects (so-called porcelains) offer compatible version
control interfaces - see the related tools list.

Some other projects have taken the concepts from the Git project and
are either porting an existing toolset to use the Git tools, or
reimplementing the concepts internally, to benefit from the
performance improvements. This includes e.g. Darcs-git.
