All this is very correct, but largely irrelevant. 

I considered Git for use in my company, (subversion is quite bad for 
handling lots of banches) and frankly: I decided against it because 
people here couldn't understand it.

They have a hard time understanding Subversion (or CVS or any of it), 
and git is even 2 notches harder to understand. That and the fact that 
there is no decent GUI clinched the matter.

Sometimes one must weigh the technical features against practical usage.

I can have the best technical system of the world, but if I'm the only
one understanding it - in my company - it is simply ruled out.
