Hey, anybody who wants to argue that BK is getter than GIT won't be getting any counter-arguments from me.
The fact is, I have constraints. Like needing something to work within a few days. If somebody comes up with a ultra-fast, replicatable, space efficient SCM in three days, I'm all over it.
In the meantime, I'd suggest people who worry about network bandwidth try to work out a synchronization protocol that allows you to send "diff updates" between git repositories. The git model doesn't preclude looking at the objects and sending diffs instead (and re-creating the objects on the other side). But my time-constraints _do_.
