Well another factor could be that Perforce is a lot easier to use than Git - Actually, would like to think am good with git, but sometimes just wonder how it became so big considering the simple or important things (like check-ins and merges) are so complicated.

check-in isn’t a concept in git because there is no server in git. It’s just a log. The beauty of the merkle tree. It’s just GitHub became popular because people didn’t understand that you can rebase from any remote source.

Delta patches become effortless

		git is so agnostic about all this stuff that you can even merge completely disparate, unrelated repositories (for example, my own primary "job" repository, and the linux kernel) into the same on-disk structure. Of course, doing so is useless because none of the commits from one repo has any relevance to the other. But because the commits are identified by true GUIDs, there are no collisions, and both sets of commits can happily exist in a single repo. It's of almost zero utility, but it does (for me) heighten the beauty and elegance of the concepts behind git (and even, the actual implementation).
