Client/server asymmetry is what will sell big companies on Scion. Central control is important to build an organization around which is how managers become directors become Vice presidents. Also licensing is better this way. Got the choice of giving away clients and charging like crazy for servers, or charging for both.

i wonder how their system compares to things like perforce which i gather from blogs etc. is better suited for certain cases like large files and huge repos than git.

(e.g. video game companies use different solutions often because of handling of assets which is definitely not a good fit for git?)

they frame it as they redefined something again, as with everything. but did they really?
