Exacly. Git supposed to be DVCS not generic DVFS. Choose right tool for right task. I needed generic DVFS to store my docs, so I wrote one. Its easy and quick and does it job :)

Very excited for git 3.0, and also ready to be immediately frustrated by it :D
`jj` has done git users an amazing service simply by being a more intuitive VCS front-end is possible.
Git needs to track software licenses on a per commit basis.
Storing large files somewhere else is a step towards the centralized model. But it's against initial design principles of git.

What in the world... why?
And also: why should he or git care?
