This doesn't mean NASA as a whole uses it. It really comes down to who is in charge of the project.

Some NASA centers in certain departments mandate the use of certain technologies, for instance .NET and sourcesafe.

I worked on some internal projects at NASA and used git though. A buddy of mine at USGS uses git for all of his work.

really? i'm not surprised at all that nasa uses git to manage open source projects. i'd be more surprised if they didn't.

hearing/confirming that nasa uses git internally for all of their mission-critical code would be something different.

Still, just saying "some piece of the federal government uses it" is a very strong case for it being enterprise-ready.

Upvoted!

While I don't necessary like the way how people in our industry tried to infuse new technology to their working place, someone has to do it somehow and I suppose this is the shortest way to convince upper-level: pick a famous company/corporate/organization as an example instead base on needs.

Helpful, but not nearly as helpful as if they endorsed it. There's not enough context here to know whether they are happy with git in practice.
