It is exotic as in "hardly-anyone-uses-it". By contrast, git is rather 
ubiquitous these days. There is literature galore. The spectrum ranges 
from the official manual to "Git: Version Control for Everyone" among 
the 20+ books dedicated to it on amazon.com. Want to build that hot 
open source project yourself everybody and their aunt is talking 
about? Chances are that would clone it from a git repo.
  
I'd rather not switch to an exotic component in the infrastructure of 
the project. Geda has already hurt itself enough by going for an less 
than well known scripting language.
