For it is the fact that git is a distributed and it is extremely fast.

Again it is distributed. this means that I can commit to my repository  
anytime I want and I don't need to have access to the internet.

The other thing is that it do not have to have commit access to a  
repository. So if I do some core development, and send in the patch  
when it gets committed, if someone looks at the commit, it will say  
that I was the author, and if Dries committed, he is the committer.  
But also if killes and chx handled the patch they can both sign it to  
say that it was "inspected by #12" ;)

Also branching in git is just the best. it puts CVS's branching to  
shame. You really start to learn what branching is about.

Gordon.
