Yes! This is something many people wonder -- other than those who love git :) I used to love Mercurial and I still mourn its mostly-loss. So I welcome a new DVCS system that is friendlier than git.

This is a good sign.

Can you expand on what this means please? Does it simply mirror, or is it feature-for-feature compatible? Is it a backup capability?

> still using legacy tools like SVN and Perforce

I won't argue re SVN, but Perforce? It's used in the game industry primarily for its excellent handling of binaries / large binaries. How well does Diversion handle that kind of thing -- multigigabyte data sets, frequently changing?

The site says large files are fine, but that's too vague for games, IMO. Large, frequently changing, binary-not-text hard-to-diff files?

Edit: one final question: why cloud only? Why not software that can be locally hosted, or hosted by (other) service providers? What if I love Diversion and want to run a Diversion setup on my own Linux box in a cupboard?
