I would hope that it is unnecessary to point weapons at managers to "convince" them to use Git.

In the meantime, I think we have accumulated a lot of arguments in favor of using Git to manage source code.

For less tech-savvy managers, I found that name dropping works quite well (read: naming a couple of well-known companies/products that switched to Git).

Ciao, Johannes
