Now you're thinking with portals!

Allegedly it scales better to super large repos. I can only assume companies have ridiculously large repos as we know something like Git must be able to handle at least the size of Linux or GNOME.

To be honest Linux and GNOME aren't that large. My company uses Perforce and the average depot size is in the 90-100GB range (ie: if you sync, you'll copy over 90GB of data to your local machine, repository size including revisions is well into the terabytes), mostly binary data, and Perforce handles it surprisingly well.

Like Ugg Boots said it's also pretty easy to use, and it's pretty easy to integrate into tools from an API point of view. If I recall it's also free for open source projects, and there are a few out there currently using it, like FreeBSD.

I haven't had any usability issues with msysgit at all on the command line. What kind of problems is it giving you?
