I normally hate clickbait, and yet I liked this article and its headline. Maybe because the tone was self-deprecating, like me getting on a bicycle and saying, "Look out, Tour de France!"
Actually, it's like a fish getting on a bicycle and jokingly saying, "Look out, Tour de France." Maybe the fish isn't anywhere near good enough on a bike to compete in the Tour de France, but still, it's a fish on a bicycle.
In the same way, Git will run circles around ZFS as a source-code version-control system. On the other hand, it's way cool that ZFS can even do some of these things, because after all it's just a filesystem.
I mean, it's a cool tool; I use it on my NAS (particularly like the ECC mode instead of dumb RAID), but the git-equivalence aspect looks a little bit like a flamebait ;-)
