My 2c : I have been using "Git for z/OS" for the products that I am involved in for over a year now and I *love* it.
During early pilot conversion from SCLM, the "a-ha" moment was realizing that if you use zFS file system as your actual workspace where you change the source (i.e do not try to fudge in PDS/PDSEs) then everything just falls into place and works beautifully. There are other paradigm shifts involved as you have to move from a rigid development "hierarchy" view with promotions to something more fluid that will require conflict resolution at "check-in" time. The BitBucket interface helps hugely for the remote repository management and the built-in git "merge" command is pretty smart. If there is a downside, it is that ISPF functionality in 3.17 is not as rich as normal PDS/Es - for example, you cannot filter the directory list contents after a "SRCHFOR" command.
