While I like git in general, this particular argument's logic is completely backwards. If something works well for 15 million lines of code and thousands of developers, then most likely it will be a gigantic overkill for your small project with a team of four, and overhead that goes unnoticed at Linux's scale will be crushing for you.

At least, that's what I would think if I didn't know git first-hand. The fact that git turned out to be useful for small project is very atypical for a solution born out of needs of a huge one.
