"The main advantage with Git "

Why is that an advantage? I mean, it may be an advantage for some 
people, but the way way you generalize it, it sounds that would be an 
advantage for everyone? I much prefer to have the repository on the server.

And if I understand this correct, then GIT downloads *every* 
intermediate version to your PC, every time you upgrade (otherwise, how 
can they already be there). That to me would be a disadvantage, I may 
never need that data.
