Git is not built as, or to be, version control.

Git is built to be distrbuted collaboration tool.

The designed-in version control aspect was always, and only, that
the ranting finish guy *by fiat* had the golden tree.

The fact that people, like us, dress git up and call it a VCS does
not wash the stripes of the tiger.

To me, personally, having a distributed collaboration tool has been
much more valuable than any "pure" or "real" VCS ever were.
