So the basic point seems to be: "if you know how to use a tool, you don't usually curse and swear when you use it. If you don't, you tend to swear a lot!"

If I were considering contributing minor patches to a project, the use of git would probably not deter me too much - I can cope with the simple stuff.  But if I wanted more major involvement, git would definitely cause me to think twice about whether to bother.

And just to show that you can't make everyone happy ... I'll put in an equal-and-opposite vote  from Malcolm. GHC's use of darcs is a blocker for me even thinking about doing any work on GHC or the related libraries; my limited experience with darcs has been terrible, and the swearing I've heard about darcs makes me think my experience was not unique. Switching to git would make the chance that I'd do work on GHC nonzero.
