seems like an interesting idea. the only friction would be to get people to use it instead of git, however i believe it will happen slowly, more people trying it and recommending it to others.
Totally agree. This is going to be the hardest dev tool to get people to switch, but we're trying! I think there's going to be many more players in this space in the next year or so. It'll be interesting to see what shakes out.
There are git clients for perforce, hg, svn and so on[1]. Oak' developer (or the community) could always develop a git frontend for users who prefer that .
