I'm not sure exactly what you mean by this, but I definitely value the
commit-style nature of git as a version-tracking mechanism, where rdiff-backup
(or duplicity) just copies filesystem snapshots. Version control != backup, no
matter how incremental/differential the system.
git and friends:
capture changes when a human thinks changes were made and should be recorded.
Fewer revisions, easy to search, every revision is meaningful.
You will miss every non-planned changes.
rdiff-backup and friends:
capture ALL changes (if run frequently enough).
A lot of revisions, might be difficult to find what you are looking for.
Revision are per time slice, you have to correlate them to events yourself.
