  1. ​​ @guss77 Gonna be honest—my comment was partially a troll to get a good list of VCS that might work better for my use-case. 🙃 Any you'd particularly recommend? My big pain-point right now with Git is how expensive pruning loose objects can get after squashing commits ("deleting" interim backups).

  2. I was looking for a tool to manage incremental backups for game saves. That history is linear, I don't need branches, centralized would be a feature, and the save files I was going to be managing were going to be large binary blobs. I went with Git. Because there are no other mainstream VCS that are actively being maintained, and certainly none that have as much of an ecosystem and are available on pretty much every platform.
